For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

New research from Vanderbilt University has found students benefit more from being taught the concepts behind math problems rather than the exact procedures to solve the problems. The findings offer ...

Construct a convex octagon with four right angles. It probably says a lot about me as a teacher that I assign problems like this. I watch as students try to arrange the right angles consecutively.

There are all sorts of apps available in the market these days, and some of them are immensely useful. Like the apps we’ll talk about in these articles. These apps allow you to solve math problems by ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

A problem which has defeated mathematicians for almost 140 years has now been solved. The breakthrough is in an area of mathematics known as conformal mapping, a key theoretical tool used by ...

The card game Set has long inspired mathematicians to create interesting problems. Now, a technique based on large language models (LLMs) is showing that artificial intelligence (AI) can help ...
