Geometry may be one of the oldest branches of mathematics, but it’s much more than a theoretical subject. It’s part of our everyday lives, says Professor Jennifer Taback, and key to understanding many ...
For decades, generations of Americans took the same basic high school math track. Algebra. Geometry. Algebra 2. Now, school districts across the country are overhauling their approach, combining ...
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 ...
Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...
An artificial-intelligence (AI) tool can rigorously prove whether geometric facts — statements about two-dimensional shapes such as triangles or polygons — are true, just as well as competitors in the ...
