AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

Cognitive overload can create a bottleneck during math lessons, but there are simple strategies to clear up students’ brain space for complex problem-solving.

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Researchers used algebra and geometry together to solve an old random walk problem. Random walk ideas have informed everything from biology to video games. This team identified a key geometry idea ...

After years of assigning the kind of homework she had done as a student and observing students’ disengagement with it, a teacher overhauled how she assigns math practice.

President Donald Trump, in a brief phone call with POLITICO, cast himself as the savior for a United Nations in danger of financial collapse, touting his ability to get members to pay unpaid dues. But ...

Brain teasers are fun little puzzles that make you think in different ways. They might look simple at first, but they often have a twist that surprises you. Solving them gives your brain a good ...

One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.

A Russian mathematician has developed a new method for analyzing a class of equations that underpin models in physics and economics and are considered "eternal" as they have challenged researchers for ...
