The problem of identifying the leading universities in a country is rather easy to solve, one may focus, for example, on highly cited papers or other indicators of excellence. Sometimes it is more challenging to find the universities of…
This paper examines various methods and ideas for humanizing mathematics. The term 'humanizing mathematics' which includes elements of 'aesthetic mathematics' refers to approaches that emphasize the aesthetic, philosophical, and subjective…
Migration plays a crucial role in urban growth. Over time, individuals opting to relocate led to vast metropolises like London and Paris during the Industrial Revolution, Shanghai and Karachi during the last decades and thousands of smaller…
Floating point arithmetic allows us to use a finite machine, the digital computer, to reach conclusions about models based on continuous mathematics. In this article we work in the other direction, that is, we present examples in which…
We find shift operators for the Dotsenko-Fateev equation, which is a differential equation of order 3, and for the three Fuchsian differential equations of order 4, 5 and 6, respectively, which are connected with the Dotsenko-Fateev…
Neural machine translation (NMT) suffers a performance deficiency when a limited vocabulary fails to cover the source or target side adequately, which happens frequently when dealing with morphologically rich languages. To address this…
We study the motion of substance in a finite channel that belongs to a network. The channel splits to two arms in a node of the network. There is an additional split of the secondary arm. We obtain analytical relationships for the…
It is estimated that over 3.6 billion passengers are travelling during the Chinese Spring Festival travel season. They leave their working cities and return their hometowns to enjoy annual family time, and back to cities after the holiday.…
We review some of Olivier Messiaen's use of mathematics in his composition and his theoretical writings. The final version of this paper appeared in the book Twentieth-Century Music and Mathematics, R. Illiano (ed.), Brepols, Turnhout,…
In this note some philosophical thoughts and observations about mathematics are expressed, arranged as challenges to some common claims.
The link between age and migration propensity is long established, but existing models of country-level net migration ignore the effect of population age distribution on past and projected migration rates. We propose a method to estimate…
High-level Chinese cartographic developments predate European innovations by several centuries. Whereas European cartographic progress -- and in particular the search for a practical solution to the perennial "longitude problem" at sea --…
This paper examines the history of previous examples of EMU from the viewpoint that state actors make decisions about whether to participate in a monetary union based on rational self-interest concerning costs and benefits to their national…
This essay, originally published in the Sept 1990 Notices of the AMS, discusses problems of our mathematical education system that often stem from widespread misconceptions by well-meaning people of the process of learning mathematics. The…
In this paper the authors discuss their experiences with ungrading at a small public university in the U.S. as well as a large public university in Germany. The courses described are Calculus 1, Mathematics for Liberal Arts, and courses for…
We give a solution of the following combinatorial problem: "Let one from $n$ married couples in the m\'enage problem (see Problem 1) be a couple of a known mathematician $M$ and his wife. After the ladies are seated at every other chair,…
This is an extended version of originally published survey in the book: "Advances in Modern Analysis and Mathematical Modeling". Editors: Yu.F.Korobeinik, A.G.Kusraev. Vladikavkaz: Vladikavkaz Scientific Center, of the Russian Academy of…
Academic migration is the change of host institution by a researcher, typically aimed at achieving a stronger research profile. Scientific features such as the number of collaborations, the productivity and its research impact tend to be…
In this review article, we discussed the Mathematics and mechanics behind the Enigma machine with an analysis of security strength. The German army used the Enigma machine during the second world war to encrypt communications. Due to its…
We propose a method for obtaining joint probabilistic projections of migration rates for all countries, broken down by age and sex. Joint trajectories for all countries are constrained to satisfy the requirement of zero global net…
