Mathematics on the Chopping Block

The production of end-grain wooden cutting boards involves repeated operations that lead to interesting mathematical questions. I explore some of the mathematical issues that arise in the process; they pose some interesting mathematical puzzles. I also show how mathematics can be used to...

Models in Applied Math and Beyond

A range of meanings for the word "model"

When scientists talk about developing models as part of their research, they can refer to quite different things.  Even within industrial and applied mathematics, modeling can have a variety of meanings. To avoid confusion and clearly communicate the relevance of mathematical modeling, it's...

Multiphase Solutions to the Vector Allen-Cahn Equation

Bates, Fusco, and Smyrnelis present a systematic study of entire symmetric solutions of the vector Allen-Cahn equation using a variational approach based on a mapping property of the parabolic vector Allen-Cahn equation and on a point-wise estimate for vector minimizers. The relevance of...
