You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...

Fractions are the basis for most higher-level mathematics. Students need to master the numerical values in earlier grades to tackle topics like algebra later. There’s only one hitch: Fractions can ...

Fractions are a foundational piece for tackling mathematics at all levels of schooling. Students need to understand how two numbers interact with each other as numerators and denominators, as ratios, ...

They had to throw away most of what it produced but there was gold among the garbage. Google DeepMind has used a large language model to crack a famous unsolved problem in pure mathematics. In a paper ...

Almost weekly a friend or an acquaintance asks me, “I want to learn to code; which language should I start with?” More or less bi-weekly I get a DM on LinkedIn starting with, “My son should start ...

Most people break out in a cold sweat when they see fractions. There's something about those little lines and numbers stacked on top of each other that makes even confident adults feel like they're ...

A new study provides evidence that pigeons tackle some problems just as artificial intelligence would -- allowing them to solve difficult tasks that would vex humans. A new study provides evidence ...

Trigonometric identities might seem like abstract mathematical concepts, but they're actually powerful problem-solving tools that can transform seemingly impossible equations into manageable solutions ...
