HCIPy is an open-source object-oriented framework written in Python for performing end-to-end simulations of high-contrast imaging instruments for astronomy. The library defines wavefronts and optical ...

For some high school students, statistics and other data science courses have unseated calculus as the de facto option for pursuing advanced math, in part due to targeted state efforts to expand ...

WHILE the crystalline composition of dental calculus in man is well elucidated, very little is known about such calculus in animals. We have had the opportunity of comparing the results of X-ray ...

Corrected: This story has been updated to reflect Ralph Pantozzi’s full statement. Corrected: A previous version of this story misstated the location of Kent Place School. It is located in Summit, N.J ...

Diffraction spikes, visible in high-power astronomical images, are an intrinsic optical phenomenon in reflecting telescopes, primarily caused by the diffraction and subsequent interference of incoming ...

This teacher believes that “deprioritizing abstract math like calculus in favor of practical math, with a focus on statistical literacy, reduces barriers to entry and will help increase diversity in ...

Abstract: The diffraction coefficient of the geometrical theory of diffraction is expressed in terms of contour integrals that are of the same form. A series of approximations are made for the ...

Stars in the new images from the James Webb Space Telescope look sharper than they did before. And I’m not just talking about the image quality, which is astounding. I’m talking about the fact that ...

You are a high school student who lives in the suburbs and excels in mathematics, acing two years of algebra and geometry. When you take Advanced Placement calculus as a senior, you find that all ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
