For a long time, baseball lovers have been interested in the physics of a baseball’s flight. One particularly big question is how the seams on a baseball affect the way it flies from the pitcher to the home plate. A mechanical engineer, LeRoy Alaways has been pursuing the answer to this question. Identifying factors such […]

AccelChip, a company which creates digital signal processing cores, has created a new core generator specially designed to to create cores from Matlab algorithms based on SVD. These cores will focus on efficiently converting SVD matrix inversion and factorization algorithms into FPGAs and ASICs. Sensor array processing is important in identifying sources of energy and […]

When we were all hard at work on Project 1, some of us might have wondered how root finding might be used to create even more visually stunning displays of art. Professor Bahman Kalantari is one person who has done just that [1]. Using root finding techniques, Kalantari’s process – called polynomiography which is a […]
