I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

The NCERT Class 8 math textbook reintroduces the Pythagorean Theorem as the Baudhayana-Pythagoras Theorem, honoring ancient ...

Do you remember being in school, working on algebra formulas, geometry theorems, and all sorts of math stuff, and wondering, "When will I EVER use this in real life? I'm pretty sure the adult me will ...

As I work proofs with my Calculus and Higher Geometries students, I often run across the Greek symbol that, in math, means “there exists." This might show up, for example, in statements such as “there ...

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced mathematical concepts. Mastering this theorem enhances logical reasoning, ...

For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...

A scholar from Kenyon College, Professor of Mathematics Carol Schumacher, is coming to Bates to give two back-to-back talks on Sept. 29 as part of the Annual Richard W. Sampson Lecture Series. Both ...

“There are many different pathways into mathematics,” said Jordan Ellenberg, a mathematician at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. “There is the stereotype that interest in math displays itself ...

Paul Erdős, the famously eccentric, peripatetic and prolific 20th-century mathematician, was fond of the idea that God has a celestial volume containing the perfect proof of every mathematical theorem ...
