The answer after a lunch with Arnol'd

Gábor Domokos has written two papers in the 2006 fall issue of The Mathematical Intelligencer, one of them with Péter Várkonyi, on results that arose in answer to a question posed by Arnol'd. Springer has been so kind to permit us reproducing these publications: "My...

The Brain Is a Dynamical System

Lai-Sang Young describes her recent work dynamically modeling interactions in the visual system that accomplish edge-detection and motion-tracking.

The cat's cradle, stirring, and topological complexity

There are several physical situations in which the tangling of a loop is relevant: the game of cat's cradle is a simple example, but a more important application involves the stirring of a fluid by rods. Here we discuss how elementary topology constrains the types of mappings that can occur on a...
