Test your knowledge of taxicab geometry, triangular numbers, the golden ratio and more.
Local Education Maryland wants to change the way it teaches math. Five things to know. The proposed policy would combine geometry and algebra into an “integrated” class.
Unlike text or audio files, there’s a dearth of examples focused on geometry, which made it difficult to train AlphaGeometry. As a workaround, the team generated their own dataset featuring 100 ...
Welcome to a city where pi equals 4 and circles aren’t round. By Steven Strogatz Photo illustrations by Jens Mortensen Each installment of “Math, Revealed” starts with an object, uncovers ...
There are other examples on record, but Mansfield argues this tablet is the oldest known example from the Old Babylonian period — a range that stretches from 1900 BCE to 1600 BCE.
This is a mathematics content course which covers the geometry/measurement strands of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in Mathematics at a collegiate level. The goal is not only to prepare ...
Starting in the late 1960s, mathematicians began to present new examples of contact manifolds. In 1968 Mikhael Gromov made progress on finding new contact structures on certain manifolds, such as ...
Sam Raskin has wrapped his head around a math problem so complex it took five academic studies — and more than 900 pages — to solve. The results are a sweeping, game-changing math proof that was ...
There will be an introduction to spherical and hyperbolic geometry and triangle measurements will be computed for each. Calculus based derivations of area and volume for surfaces and solids will be ...
Few examples illustrate the mixing of math and physics better than a discovery made by physicist Michael Berry. ... This geometry, Berry realized, gives quantum particles a kind of memory.
