A troubling math problem that led to a "heated conversation" among one fifth-grader's family has sparked similar debate on social media. Math differs from other subjects in that the answers students ...

A dad in Virginia ended up turning to social media for help after becoming confused by a first-grade math problem. Math seems to be a problem for many young Americans. In 2022, the Programme for ...

Quantum computers could soon be able to solve genuinely useful mathematical problems faster than classical computers, claims quantum computing firm Quantinuum. It would be the first example of these ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 2003, a German graduate student named Britta Späth encountered the McKay conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The world of mathematics is full of unreachable corners, where unsolvable problems live. Now, yet another has been exposed. In 1900, the ...

Abstract: Loopwise route representation (LRR), which has been recently proposed as an alternative network representation, can determine the optimal path for the vehicle routing problems with a simpler ...

Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...

The world of mathematics is full of unreachable corners, where unsolvable problems live. Now, yet another has been exposed. In 1900, the eminent mathematician David Hilbert announced a list of 23 key ...
