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 ...

An animated journey into the world of rational numbers! A fraction thief disrupts a number town, leading to a fun exploration of fractions, natural numbers, and mathematical concepts. Donald Trump's ...

Mathematics students face challenges with rational and irrational numbers. Understanding the principles and patterns simplifies this concept. Rational numbers can be fractions of integers. Irrational ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

The term "computer" used to be applied to humans that performed calculations by hand. It's still important for today's kids to still know how to, say, multiply without using their calculators (or ...

In 2019, mathematicians finally solved one of the hardest math problems—one that had stumped them for decades. It’s called a Diophantine Equation, and it’s sometimes known as the “summing of three ...

A series of unsolved puzzles in number theory called Diophantine problems date back to 3,700 years ago. Over the years mathematicians have whittled away at them, and recent work has made significant ...

Is Oglethorpe University's Bill Shillito right? What does this math problem mean? You love numbers. So do we. Let's nerd out over numbers together. The shared problem follows a now-common formula with ...
