Fuzzy number approximations provide a robust framework for representing and managing uncertainty in quantitative analyses. By generating simplified yet accurate representations of fuzzy ...

The problem of local linear approximation to a curved boundary using gridded data is closely connected to both curve estimation methods in statistics and rational approximation in number theory. The ...

Earlier this summer, we posted about a study that revealed that monkeys could listen to a series of beeps and then equate it to a visual representation of the same number. One of the researchers ...

One person can’t measure all the trees in the world, but when many people come together, a global view becomes possible. A worldwide collaboration of scientists has produced the first ground-sourced ...
