The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved: How Mathematical Genius Discovered the Language of Symmetry
The Equation That Couldn't Be Solved: How Mathematical Genius Discovered the Language of Symmetry
What do the music of J. S. Bach, the basic forces of nature, Rubik's Cube, and the selection of mates have in common? They are all characterized by certain symmetries. Symmetry is the concept that bridges the gap between science and art, between the world of theoretical physics and the everyday world we see around us. Yet the "language"...
Fuzzy and Neutrosophic Analysis of Periyars Views on Untouchability
Fuzzy and Neutrosophic Analysis of Periyars Views on Untouchability
For the first time, the social problem of untouchability, which is peculiar to India, is being studied mathematically.

We have used Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps to analyze the views of the revolutionary Periyar E. V. Ramasamy (17.09.1879 – 24.12.1973) who relentlessly worked for more than five decades to secure the...

Face Processing: Advanced Modeling and Methods
As one of the most important applications of image analysis and understanding, face recognition has recently received significant attention, especially during the past 10 years. There are at least two reasons for this trend: the first is the wide range of commercial and law-enforcement applications, and the second is the availability of feasible...
