Researchers around the world are racing to develop new quantum-based systems for sensing, communication, computing and ...

Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own 'undecipherable' coded languages. Mathematicians now present 'big algebras,' a two-way mathematical 'dictionary' ...

Local automorphisms and derivations capture how global symmetries and infinitesimal transformations of an algebra can be recovered from their action on individual elements. Whereas an automorphism or ...

Fusion systems provide an abstract framework for encoding the conjugacy relations of subgroups within a finite group, isolating the “p-local” behaviour at a fixed prime p. Rather than studying an ...

Eighth graders can be successful in Algebra 1, new research suggests—they just might need some extra support. The findings come from a study of San Francisco schools, which has had a turbulent history ...

“I’ve spent a long time exploring the crystalline beauty of traditional mathematics, but now I’m feeling an urge to study something slightly more earthy,” John Baez wrote on his blog in 2011. An ...

Abstract thinking helps you find patterns in data and explain meaning through stories and ideas. It also supports humor, creativity, and problem-solving beyond what you can observe. Concrete thinking ...

Abstract: For a topological group G, let Aut(G) be the group of all automorphisms, and let w(G) be the number of orbits of Aut(G) on G. I will report about results characterizing classes of groups G ...

Doretha Clemons, Ph.D., MBA, PMP, has been a corporate IT executive and professor for 34 years. She is an adjunct professor at Connecticut State Colleges & Universities, Maryville University, and ...

Schools are less likely to offer Latino and Black students early algebra classes, effectively shutting these students off from advanced courses and higher-paying jobs, according to research released ...

Black and Latino students are much less likely to have early access to Algebra 1 than their white and Asian peers—even when they’re in the same schools, and have similarly high math scores, according ...
