Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...

This is a huge advance for AI to make big progress with better reasoning and better math. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new ...

Math is not always learned from textbooks. Sometimes, the best lessons begin around a kitchen table. A simple family activity ...

The way we memorize information—a mathematical problem statement, for example—reveals the way we process it. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with CY Cergy Paris ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

Every year, the countries competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad arrive with a booklet of their best, most original problems. Those booklets get shared among delegations, then quietly ...

From analyzing large datasets to modeling real-world systems, students can apply their math skills across many fields. Math majors learn to think logically, reason analytically, and solve complex ...
