Most engineering labs have digital oscilloscopes, but many engineers don’t fully explore their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is its math channel, which can ...

In the process of debugging and validating both digital and RF designs, the oscilloscope Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function and a variety of other math functions can prove valuable to designers ...

Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of mathematics is that it applies to literally everything, even things that do not exist in ...

Duah: Using puzzles, both at home and in classrooms, can restore the often-forgotten truth that learning happens in ...

Oscilloscope measurement parameters provide accurate measurements of acquired waveforms. Most digital oscilloscopes offer around twenty-five standard parameters like frequency, peak-to-peak amplitude, ...

Numbers like pi, e and phi often turn up in unexpected places in science and mathematics. Pascal's triangle and the Fibonacci sequence also seem inexplicably widespread in nature. Then there's the ...

A mathematical function is a formula that takes an input, x, applies a set of calculations to it, and produces an output called y. By calculating a function at a large number of set intervals, it is ...

High school math, and algebra, in particular, is in crisis. Although some students thrive on the pathway to calculus, most do not. Algebra I is the single most failed course in American high schools.

Most people probably don’t think of mathematics when they hear “busy beavers.” But these eager little animals symbolize one of the most amazing concepts of the knotty field: not everything can be ...
