The Euler equations on a three-dimensional periodic domain have a family of shear flow steady states. We derive a formulation of the dynamics of the vorticity Fourier modes on a periodic domain and ...

Leonhard Euler, a Swiss mathematician who continued to work on complex equations from memory even after he went blind, is honored in Monday’s Google Doodle on the 306th anniversary of his birth. Euler ...

At the height of Europe’s Enlightenment, one man illuminated mathematics like never before — even as darkness claimed his sight. Leonhard Euler unified entire branches of science through logic, ...

Bio-polymers play an important role in many critical processes in organisms ranging from providing structural rigidity to motility. In this experiment we examine the buckling properties of rigid ...
