Algebraic geometry has long provided a deep framework for understanding the solutions of polynomial equations through geometric lenses. In recent years, tropical geometry – a relatively young field – ...

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 ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of recent work by the ...

The cultural shift to the political right will have foreseeable consequences, but banning of controversial books such as “Huckleberry Finn,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Catcher in the Rye” and “The ...

Mathematicians have used pictures to solve equations ever since Pythagoras cooked up his famous theorem, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the deep links between shapes and sums really came ...

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 ...

April 20, 2006 Mathematics underpins our understanding of the universe – it provides a lingua franca for everything we can measure and visualize. Which is why we think the new Cognitive Tutor 2006 ...

Nearly 85 percent of Georgia teachers participating in a recent survey said they would rather use the traditional algebra-geometry-algebra 2 pathway for high school math than the integrated model the ...

Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry. It can be seen as the study of solution sets of systems of polynomials.
