The Hidden Math of Ocean Waves
A team of Italian mathematicians has made significant progress in understanding the math of ocean waves.
Situated in Trieste, Italy, the mathematician's office overlooks the Adriatic Sea, providing a beautiful view that is "very inspiring".
“It’s very inspiring,” the mathematician said. “For sure the most beautiful view I’ve ever had.”
The city is known for its "bora" wind, which blows erratically and can drive waves into reverse, streaming them away from the city and back toward the open sea.
