Caption:Part of a new algorithm developed at MIT solves the so-called Fokker-Planck equation, where heat diffuses in a linear way, but there are additional terms that drift in the same direction heat is spreading. In a straightforward application, the approach models how swirls would evolve over the surface of a triangulated sphere. Credit: Alex Sh

When solving a mathematical problem, it is possible to appeal to the ordinal property of numbers, i.e. the fact The way we memorize information—a mathematical problem statement, for example—reveals the way we process it. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with CY Cergy Paris University (CYU) and Bourgogne Universi

A model developed by evolutionary mathematicians in Canada and Europe shows that as cooperation becomes easier, it can unexpectedly break down. The researchers at the University of British Columbia and Hungarian Research Network used computational spatial models to arrange individuals from the two species on separate lattices facing one another.
