We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...

Teachers can use these questions to draw students out and get worthwhile formative assessment responses to guide instruction.

Everyone loves standardized tests, right? They are just super awesome in my book. SUPER AWESOME. Here in Louisiana there is the LEAP test. I don't know all the details, but I think students have to ...

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 ...

UPDATE: May 18, 2017, 5:06 p.m. SGT Updated with the Ministry of Education's new statement. A math question apparently meant for 7-year-olds has left adults befuddled. The bonus math question -- which ...

A century ago, the great mathematician David Hilbert posed a probing question in pure mathematics. A recent advance in optimization theory is bringing Hilbert’s work into a world of self-driving cars.

Sure, you can cut a pie into pieces, but what if it’s in four dimensions? Using spectral graph theory, mathematicians have solved a decades-old problem. Graph theory uses nodes and edges (dots and ...

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers, pro and ...

In math, as in life, small choices can have big consequences. This is especially true in graph theory, a field that studies networks of objects and the connections between them. Here’s a little puzzle ...
