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 ...

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 ...

In 2024, an AI entered the fray of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Google’s AlphaProof is part of the same ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An ancient Indian manuscript full of mathematical calculations has been found to be the earliest recorded use of the number “zero.” Bodleian Libraries Scientists have found the earliest recorded usage ...

Video produced by Maria Bartholdi. Emily Lynch goes through life looking for patterns. During the day, Lynch works for a math publishing company in Minneapolis, training teachers to use materials that ...
