When Alfred University Associate Math Professor Amanda Lipnicki took up knitting as an undergraduate student, she didnt immediately recognize how mathematics and geometry underlay the patterns of ...

Hoang Pham has spent his career trying to ensure that some of the world’s most critical systems don’t fail, including ...

New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex mathematical problems that underpin scientific and engineering challenges.

Washington has an urgent math problem. Nearly one in three students cannot demonstrate basic grade-level skills, and among low-income students it’s almost one in two. In a state that prides itself on ...

The New York State Education Department is pushing new math guidelines, including a recommendation that teachers stop giving timed quizzes — because it stresses students out. The new guidelines also ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

In what can be a lonely field for women even during the best of times, Marisol Hernández’s first year in engineering school coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, when classes were held remotely rather ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...
