Gerd Faltings proved a conjecture that had been unsolved for six decades, using connections between numbers and geometry.

I make short, to-the-point online math tutorials. I struggled with math growing up and have been able to use those ...

Distance math finally makes sense ✅📏!!

A Zürich-based team has successfully condensed complex 4D sensing technology — once too bulky for everyday use — onto a single silicon chip.

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

Celebrate Pi Day and read all about how this number pops up across math and science on our special Pi Day page. Grab something circular, like a cup, measure the distance around the circle, and divide ...

Students, parents and school principals all instinctively know that some teachers are better than others. Education researchers have spent decades trying — with mixed success — to calculate exactly ...

A University of California San Diego report warns that roughly one in eight incoming college students can’t meet middle school math standards. It found that the number of students needing to take ...
