Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

In this video, we provide essential "math help" for the "ged test", specifically addressing problems where a calculator is not allowed. This "math tutorial" covers 12 different "math problem" examples ...

More than 800 professors in the University of California system, including seven of nine math department chairs, are calling on system leaders to reinstate SAT/ACT testing requirements for applicants ...

Hundreds of UC faculty are urging a return of SAT or ACT test requirements for STEM applicants, citing math deficits after six years of being test-free. A UC San Diego report of soaring math ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

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 ...

Git isn't hard to learn, and when you combine Git and GitHub, you've just made the learning process significantly easier. This two-hour Git and GitHub video tutorial shows you how to get started with ...

A 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong. Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall. For ...

A math teacher at a top San Francisco school has been placed on leave after allegedly adding fat-shaming and misogynistic questions to students’ tests. Tom Chan, who has worked at Lowell High School ...
