Baboons and macaques appear to use some of the same mental strategies as humans when matching shapes, suggesting that the ...

A mathematician announced that he used one of Anthropic's A.I. models to find a counterexample to a problem called the ...

Joan Birman popularized the Burau representation problem decades ago. Now she and two colleagues have a proof that reveals ...

A theorem as old as time… or almost For more than two millennia, Pythagoras’ theorem has stood as one of the cornerstones of geometry. The discovery we’re talking about first made headlines in late ...

In integrated math courses like the one taught at Chapman High School, students typically learn a blend of algebra and geometry concepts in the same class, rather than separately. Credit: Doug Barrett ...

Most people wouldn't think that it would take rigorous mathematical proof to show how many folds it takes to make a donut shape out of paper. Yet, no one could quite figure it out until recently. In a ...

ALPHABETA is a piece of software written in Python that calculates alpha and beta tilt angles of a double tilt stage in a TEM (transmission electron microscope). The tool comes with an intuitive user ...

A State College Area School District student won a major science research award. Connor Hill, 17, cracked a complex geometric problem to win the $250,000 grand prize. Hill plans to use the money for ...

Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than ...

It’s no secret that many of us are not too fond of mathematics and geometry, and that it is often too complex. But even so, it can be pretty mind-blowing to look back in history and discover the ...
