These student-constructed problems foster collaboration, communication, and a sense of ownership over learning.

As we begin a new semester following a hopefully restful winter break, I have been thinking about the various concepts of stability, a term often used in mathematics and invoked to describe many ...

An analysis of data from 200,000 students using a computer-assisted math program supports an optimistic view of skill-focused ...

They found that students assigned to teachers who used more mathematical vocabulary in their lessons made greater progress ...

Professional mathematicians have been stunned by the progress amateurs have made in solving long-standing problems with the ...

There is a tendency to imagine genius as smooth and uninterrupted. As if the great thinkers moved from one insight to the next without pause. Albert Einstein does not quite fit that picture. For all ...

You’d be surprised how many young people can’t read this. One of its conclusions tells the sad tale. “Between 2020 and 2025, the number of students whose math skills fall below high school level has ...

In “The Great Math War,” Jason Socrates Bardi takes on a battle for the soul of numbers that divided the experts of its day. By Jordan Ellenberg Jordan Ellenberg, a professor of mathematics at the ...

AlphaEvolve, an AI that “evolves” code solutions, rediscovered and improved proofs for the finite-field Kakeya conjecture. Gemini Deep Think verified the logic, and AlphaProof formalized the ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

We've wondered for centuries whether knowledge is latent and innate or learned and grasped through experience, and a new research project is asking the same question about AI. When you purchase ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...
