Students in Kristen Gonsoir’s classroom at Groton Area High School in Groton, S.D., spend a lot of time solving equations together. Early this school year, they passed almost an entire period working ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...

Celebrate Pi Day and read about how this number pops up across math and science on our special Pi Day page. For more than two millennia, mathematicians have produced a growing heap of pi equations in ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are central to both pure and applied mathematics. Any quantity which changes in space and time will satisfy certain partial differential equations because the ...

What's the best way for children to learn arithmetic—memorizing number values and multiplication tables, or studying math at a deeper, conceptual level? Educators have long debated the merits of these ...

Math achievement has been stagnating for over a decade. What could turn that around? As the “science of reading” makes big strides, one can’t help but ask if there’s an analogous “science of math.” ...

Frank Merle is used to confronting a messy world. He works on the mathematics of highly nonlinear systems—ones that respond in dramatic, unpredictable ways to even the smallest changes. It’s the same ...

The Dallas Morning News is examining math outcomes for Texas students because math skills are essential for the state's workforce to attract top industries and ensure economic growth. The state can ...
