IN discussing algebraic curves and surfaces we have the choice of several distinct methods. Some authors rely upon Cremona transformations, by which the curve or surface is brought into correspondence ...

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 ...

Explore major math functions like sine, cosine, and tangent! Learn to graph trigonometric functions and understand key ...

* Illustration: Christian Montenegro * I'm sitting in a second-floor classroom at Denver East High School, hunched over a desk, exerting a death grip on a No. 2 pencil. My brain is overheating. I have ...

Concepts covered in this course include: standard functions and their graphs, limits, continuity, tangents, derivatives, the definite integral, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Formulas for ...

I didn’t find math particularly exciting when I was in high school. To be honest, I only studied it when I went to university because it initially seemed quite easy to me. But in my very first math ...

What They Need To Know: In high school, students use a deeper understanding of mathematics to solve real-world problems. While in elementary and middle school, the math skills children need to know ...

When two mathematicians raised pointed questions about a classic proof that no one really understood, they ignited a years-long debate about how much could be trusted in a new kind of geometry. In the ...
