How many variables do we need to describe macromolecular motion? The answer depends on the time and length scale of interest. By analyzing the geometry of the space defined by long molecular dynamics trajectories of macromolecular systems, we find that different regions of the configurational […]
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is global navigation system consisting of at least twenty-four satellites orbiting in six planes around the earth. GPS is extensively used by both the military and the FAA, with growing applications in civilian markets. The importance of GPS in everyday […]

May 11, 2009 – Washington, DC The seven NSF Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes announce the creation of 45 new one- and two-year positions for young, highly-trained mathematical scientists […]
The study of the vibrations in domains with boundaries or interfaces of irregular geometry is a complex mathematical problem, for which many questions are still unsolved. Nevertheless, it has been known for a long time that objects of irregular shape or geometry are “bad resonators”. […]
