Students who make relevant arm movements while learning can improve their knowledge and retention of math, research has shown. Now researchers at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, and the ...

At the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), one competitor did so well that it would have been awarded the Silver ...

In 2024, an AI entered the fray of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Google’s AlphaProof is part of the same ...

This paper presents two studies of an intervention designed to help undergraduates comprehend mathematical proofs. The intervention used multimedia resources that presented proofs with audio ...

Fefferman’s proof—along with subsequently discovered connections to number theory, combinatorics, and other areas—revived interest in the Kakeya problem among top mathematicians. In 1995, Thomas Wolff ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1917, the Japanese mathematician Sōichi Kakeya posed what at first seemed like nothing more than a fun exercise in geometry. Lay an ...

Recent advances in machine learning have opened transformative avenues for investigating complex problems in string theory and geometry. By integrating sophisticated algorithms with theoretical ...

Mathematics students frequently encounter challenges when tackling geometric concepts, especially those requiring spatial visualisation skills. The transition from basic arithmetic to geometric ...

There's a simple way to learn geometry over the summer. It is easy and fun. Imagine Euclidean geometry: the video game. If your experience in high school geometry was anything like mine, it probably ...
