If the World Science Festival’s panel on string theory tackled the question of whether the math behind it could be a reliable guide to reality, its panel on the Limits of Understanding seemed to ...

A physicist named Nicolas Gisin from the University of Geneva recently published a series of papers that could change our entire view on the concept of “time.” Gisin’s work attempts to reconcile ...

Group theory isn’t just abstract math—it’s the hidden framework behind symmetry, structure, and transformation in everything from cryptography to quantum physics. It connects elegant patterns to ...

Math as both profession and course of study can be a hard sell, something even Don Draper might have trouble pitching. The field unites numbers, theories, and ideas that, yes, can be physically ...

The painstaking process of formalization to verify proofs is starting to surge thanks to AI. That could radically change the ...

Daniel Glasscock, an assistant professor of mathematics and statistics, tapped two undergraduate students to verify his ...

The world of mathematics is filled with marvelous mysteries. For many mathematicians ABC conjecture is possibly at the top of that list, stated Live Science. The problem is so confusing that even its ...

A new theory regarding how the brain first learns basic math could alter approaches to identifying and teaching students with math learning disabilities. Published in the Behavioral and Brain Sciences ...

A math theory powering computer image compression, an "invisibility cloak" or the science behind the James Webb Space Telescope are some achievements that could be honored when the Nobel physics prize ...

School s across the country have made considerable efforts to incorporate aspects of critical race theory into math curricula, often by modifying achievement standards and student expectations. Once ...
