We’ve been taught that living systems are incredibly complex and diverse. However, there are clues that processes exist to tame these systems’ and sustain the robustness of life. Using novel ...

The author tries to show some causes of failures in the creation of mathematical concepts. One of them is stiffening of concept cores. It makes impossible identification of untypical exemplars of a ...

Scientists explore the physics of how polarization-filtered colors emerge, how they can be controlled, and why subtle changes in viewing angle, sample orientation, and the order of layers of films ...

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...

At the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), one competitor did so well that it would have been awarded the Silver ...

A new study challenges the common practice in many classrooms of teaching mathematical concepts by using "real-world," concrete examples. Researchers found that college students who learned a ...

This blog is a continuation of the Building AI Leadership Brain Trust Blog Series which targets board directors and CEO’s to accelerate their duty of care to develop stronger skills and competencies ...

“The nail and hammer are fundamental to the manufacture of chairs, tables, stools, cabinets, and other varied items. So are certain ‘Mathematical Formulas or Relationships’ to the solution of diverse ...
