By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. The first few digits of the Fibonacci string are 0 ,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21… so on an so forth. If you look close enough, Fibonacci can be found damn near everywhere in nature and ...

A collaboration between 54-year-old system engineer Shigeru Kondo and American computer science student Alexander Yee resulted in the successful calculation of Pi to the 5-trillionth digit using only a homemade home computer and a piece of custom software called y-cruncher. The 5-trillion milestone shattered the previous record of 2.7 trillion digits, nearly doubling past efforts. The calculation took a period ...

No variables here. Just straight up basic arithmetic solves the mathematical�quandaries�of the interwebz.

Free hugs to the person who can come up with the correct equation for Gearfuse. More after the j + ump!

Cornell University’s James Cutting has a theory about Hollywood blockbusters. To be a really engaging potential classic, a movie needs to follow the 1/f�fluctuation, a mathematical theory that attempts to solve the mystery of attention spans. In his research, Cutting measured the shot length of the 150 highest-grossing movies between 1935 and 2005. He then graphed the varying shot lengths ...

So what’s even cooler than playing with a scientific calculator? I know, not much. But apparently the magic happens once you gut the calculator’s innards (shame! blasphemy!) and insert, wait for it, a fully-functional Game Boy! Hooray. Rejoice. All is forgiven. FYI, I have no idea what a derivative of a function is. I just thought it sound math-y. Link ...

Part of the New Math series by Craig Damraurer, this shirt merges math with the our scientific definition of a pirate. If we’ve done the math correctly, this awesome Pirate equation shirt is right up your gangplank. Grab ...

This calculator only does a sub-par job of mimicking the Xbox 360 controller. Why, exactly, is this such a ripoff? No friggen Y button. WTF. Do the math. (Hardy-har) We’ve been short-changed. Link
