Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and the Euler equation top a poll to find the greatest equations of all time. Robert P Crease discusses the results of his reader survey First among equals – ...

Lowry Kirkby reviews The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky Thirst for physics: Leonard Susskind's popular series of lectures ...

Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on with electric fields. So ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...

Brian Greene: When we talk about vibration in physics, we have an interesting set of equations, mathematical equations that govern how a system vibrates. So if we have a string on a violin, we have an ...

Equations are ordered, elegant mathematical constructs used to describe specific patterns. Can you imagine some formulas depict the very opposite: chaos and randomness? What's more intriguing, they ...
