Geometry may be one of the oldest branches of mathematics, but it’s much more than a theoretical subject. It’s part of our everyday lives, says Professor Jennifer Taback, and key to understanding many ...

When Alfred University Associate Math Professor Amanda Lipnicki took up knitting as an undergraduate student, she didnt immediately recognize how mathematics and geometry underlay the patterns of ...

Sam Raskin has wrapped his head around a math problem so complex it took five academic studies — and more than 900 pages — to solve. The results are a sweeping, game-changing math proof that was ...

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 ...

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 ...

Landmark results in geometry and number theory marked an exciting year for mathematics, at a time when advances in artificial intelligence are starting to transform the subject’s future. In May, a ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...
