EDITOR: I disagree that most students will not use algebra in their lives. Every shopper is looking for the answer to the actual price when a sale is advertised as 15 percent, 20 percent or any ...

If the mention of algebra conjures bad memories of math classes, a Python library called SymPy could change your mind about ...

One useful feature of the Python math module is quick access to mathematical constants. You can make Python more effective as ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Students see that geometric transformations—dilation and translation—correspond to algebraic parameters—m and b—in the familiar equation for a ...

Mathematicians used “magic functions” to prove that two highly symmetric lattices solve a myriad of problems in eight- and 24-dimensional space. The points could be an infinite collection of electrons ...

I’m neither a mathematician nor math teacher. Plenty of the readers of this blog do fall into those categories, however, and today I’m seeking them out. A new report by Achieve, released today, shows ...

This study is an attempt to analyze students' construction of function based problem solving methods in introductory algebra. It claims that for functions to be a main concept for learning school ...

Most engineering labs have digital oscilloscopes, but many engineers don’t fully explore their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is its math channel, which can ...
