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 ...

Using a relatively young theory, a team of mathematicians has started to answer questions whose roots lie at the very ...

THIS is an interesting contribution to the subject treated of by Riemann, Helmholtz, and others, and in this country by Prof. Clifford. The question is considered from the standpoint of elementary ...

This article presents a way of studying the rationality that mathematics teachers utilize in managing the teaching of theorems in high-school geometry. More generally, the study illustrates how to ...

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, ...

A scholar from Kenyon College, Professor of Mathematics Carol Schumacher, is coming to Bates to give two back-to-back talks ...

Herbert Simon, the Nobel-prize winning economist, was a techno-enthusiast. In 1956 he predicted that, “within 10 years, computers would beat the world chess champion, compose ‘aesthetically satisfying ...

Highly powered writers I respect recently recommended the book Trees, maps, and theorems by Dr. Jean-luc Doumont as a set of coherent recommendations for improving communications, and I am happy to ...
