In his new book The Math Myth: And Other STEM Delusions, political scientist Andrew Hacker proposes replacing algebra II and calculus in the high school and college curriculum with a practical course ...

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' ...

A modern Red Riding Hood on her way to Grandma’s house can meander through the woods, or drive down the interstate, or even climb a mountain to come around the back way. All those routes will get her ...

Representation theory transforms abstract algebra groups into things like simpler matrices. The field’s founder left a list of 43 problems for others to study, iterate on, and prove. One mathematician ...

Masaki Kashiwara received the honor, often regarded as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, for work that combined different mathematical fields to solve challenging problems. By Kenneth Chang Masaki ...
