When I was in middle school, I had a classmate who would look at trigonometric functions and yell, "I will never need these!" ...

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and NVIDIA have introduced a new method that helps large language models reason ...

Numberphile revived an ancient multiplication trick—halves and doubles—also called Egyptian or Russian math, where you repeatedly halve one number and double the other. After crossing out rows with ...

If you’re not sure how to wrap a present, there’s an easy hack you can try. The clever trick—wrap diagonally, not horizontally or vertically—is based in math. Basic geometric principles explain how it ...

I don’t typically write responses to other opinion pieces, but there was one two weeks ago about new techniques in elementary math education that has inspired me. The main complaint was that there are ...

Four years ago, I was given a fantastic opportunity to be a math coach for a primary years program. But when I started, there was no framework to work within, no script to follow. I was starting from ...

Answer: 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000. This is the kind of math riddle you can work out with times tables, or by simple logic. First, get as close to 1,000 as you can (888). From there, it’s easy to ...

In an era where fleeting trends often overshadow enduring purpose, one person is aiming to redefine the very essence of business, media, and social impact. Washington J. Calvache Durand, a ...

A new study conducted by researchers from the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester has made a significant breakthrough in quantum materials by finding a method for accurately engineering ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...
