Every pure mathematician has experienced that awkward moment when asked, “So what’s your research good for?” There are standard responses: a proud “Nothing!”; an explanation that mathematical research ...

The purpose of all of the developmental mathematics courses is to support student success academically and beyond by advancing critical thinking and reasoning skills. Specifically in Algebra I, as a ...

When students are genuinely curious about new concepts and ideas, they develop their own study skills, says Pekka Pankka, professor and teacher in the specialization. Geometry, Algebra, and Topology ...

For decades, generations of Americans took the same basic high school math track. Algebra. Geometry. Algebra 2. Now, school districts across the country are overhauling their approach, combining ...

Arithmetic geometry explores deep connections between number theory and geometry by investigating solutions to polynomial equations over various fields. The subject has expanded to include the study ...

Arithmetic geometry, at its core, investigates the rich interplay between number theory and geometry. In the context of unitary groups—algebraic groups defined as the symmetries of Hermitian forms—the ...

The drive to get every student to take so-called college gateway courses has succeeded, a new federal study finds, but students taking Algebra 1 and Geometry classes are getting considerably less ...
