Every year mathematicians and artists converge for the conference Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science, a festival celebrating the links between mathematics and the arts. The ...
The full bridge would offer mathematicians the hope of illuminating vast swaths of mathematics by passing concepts back and forth across it. Many problems, including Fermat’s Last Theorem, seem ...
New research findings by Kellogg School of Management Professor Paola Sapienza say social equality leads to better math skills for women 5/29/2008 - The gender gap in math perceived to exist between ...
I first heard about elite math competitions when I was homeschooling my kids (yes, I homeschooled my children for eight years). I read about the International Math Olympiad and MathCounts, and heard ...
The prestige and high salaries associated with some STEM-related jobs may entice students to pursue degrees in STEM fields. Yet after they start the required college math courses, many realize there's ...
After UNLV sophomore Vince Briones failed his remedial math class for the third time, he faced a choice: Try once again in the fall or spend the summer in an intensive math course known as Math Bridge ...
The proof Wiles finally came up with (helped by Richard Taylor) was something Fermat would never have dreamed up. It tackled the theorem indirectly, by means of an enormous bridge that mathematicians ...
