“Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don’t know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth.” —Benjamin ...

Mathematicians have been mystified by ocean waves for centuries. But new research could be a very large step in the wave prediction world.

The Euler equations constitute a fundamental set of hyperbolic partial differential equations that describe the motion of an inviscid fluid. In gas dynamics, these equations are instrumental in ...
