For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

Earlier this year, a trio of mathematicians decided to make lemons into lemonade — and ended up making major headway on a problem that mathematicians have been thinking about for centuries.

Rational number is one of the most challenging areas of primary school mathematics. When taking it on, learners are asked to move beyond whole number thinking and make sense of multiplicative and ...
