Humpty Dumpty had all the king's horses and all the king's men, but it wasn't enough to put him back together again. This ...

Logical thinking improves through practice rather than memorization. Math puzzles, visual explanations, probability problems and real-world reasoning exercises can help learners break complex ...

Unbeknownst to them, the puzzle would help launch a profound branch of modern math about order among chaos and spark a ...

Smith College Professor of Mathematics Christophe Golé and three co-authors have been awarded the Mathematical Association of ...

A solution to part of the Cohen-Lenstra conjecture helps resolve a long-standing mystery about quadratic forms ...

A mathematician working at Anthropic says he used the AI model Claude Fable 5 to uncover a remarkably simple counterexample ...

The nonrepeating Smith hat tile created twisting, pinwheel-like light patterns that ordinary quasicrystals do not produce. Its unusual effect comes from combining long-range order with a lack of ...

Every summer, I teach an introductory machine learning course in an international summer program. This year, the class brought together students from more than ...

Middle and high school teachers can explore art, sports, recipes, shopping, and financial topics to show students that math is part of their lives.

The best of friendships were probably woven in eighth grade, when you and your friends were crying together the night before a maths exam. Nothing brings people together quite like the collective fear ...

This year’s Fields Medal honors four mathematicians in their 30s who have made their mark in geometry and physics.

Disproving the Jacobian conjecture marks the latest high-profile win in a historic year for frontier AI models in theoretical mathematics. (Image created with AI) An Anthropic researcher just gave ...
