The viral math problem has X users stumped - but the answer comes in lessons learned in fifth or sixth grade.

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...

Thriving in an exponential world requires more than a better strategy. It demands quantum thinking, the shift from linear ...

Abstract: Two asynchronous distributed algorithms are presented for solving a linear equation of the form Ax=b with at least one solution. The equation is simultaneously and asynchronously solved by m ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...

Unless you do it in your day to day job, math can be very easy to avoid once you graduate from school. Suddenly those long, complicated equations that your math teacher swore would be trivial are so ...

The author recounts a personal journey from focusing on astronomy to becoming deeply involved in climate change research, highlighting the disconnect between scientific understanding and societal ...

Linear functions are used to model a broad range of real-world problems. The ability to solve linear equations and inequalities is an essential skill for analysing these models. This section covers ...

I’ve been out of school a long time (I mean a long time), yet I think I’m still pretty good at basic math. I’m always able to figure out whether a “bargain buy” at the supermarket is actually a ...
