“There are five fundamental operations in mathematics,” the German mathematician Martin Eichler supposedly said. “Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modular forms.” Part of the joke, ...

The allure of modular systems is multifaceted, but perhaps the most important aspect is the efficiency. Standardized components, built off-site in specialized facilities reduce material use, minimize ...

Using “refreshingly old” tools, mathematicians resolved a 50-year-old conjecture about how to categorize important functions called modular forms, with consequences for number theory and theoretical ...

As the multifamily space becomes more open to the idea of modular design, non-traditional building methods have become more popular. Despite the pervading conventional wisdom, modular builders are ...
