Fibonacci
My intention for this article is to provide a look into how the decimal expansion of some fractions yields the Fibonacci sequence.

An Introduction to Critical Phenomena in Physics
Calculus
Intuitive ideas about the derivative
Astrophysics
Have you thought much about the speed of light and its implications? If not, you really should. Therein lie marvels.
Zero
Gems in STEM: The History of Zero
Halley
In both the scientific and wider community, the name of Edmond Halley is almost exclusively associated with his eponymous comet. This, however, overlooks Halley’s other contributions to the scientific world.
Pi
A simple experiment to approximate π

An Introduction to Cosmology and the Birth of the Universe
Infinity
How many numbers of each type are there? Can two infinities be equal? Can one infinity be larger than another infinity?
Fibonacci
This interesting math trick arises from an interesting empirical observation and the Fibonacci sequence.
Logic
Canadian mathematician Simon Kochen recalled in his tribute to Kurt Gödel how during his PhD exam, he was asked to name five of Gödel’s theorems. The essence of the question was that each of the theorems either gave birth to a new branch of, or revolutionized, modern mathematical logic.

Why the Butterfly Effect is not the whole story
Quantum Electrodynamics
This one is a bit technical. If you’re feeling rusty on your QC fundamentals, don’t read it. Save it. Bookmark this article for later when you’ve brushed up. You’ll be glad you did, especially if you want to understand QCS.
Calculus of Variations
It seems like the most common introduction to the Calculus of Variations is to talk about the Brachistochrone problem. It goes like this.
