The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper folding.

Strong spatial skills are critical for everyday tasks and across many careers—they also strengthen students’ math performance.

How Mathematics Shapes Creativity dispels the myth of the numbers vs. arts divide, demonstrating how deep mathematical structures (like fractals and prime numbers) serve as "secret sauces" for human ...

In the mud walls of many remote homes nestled in Karnataka’s Malanadu region, stories bloom in delicate strokes of white and ochre. Beyond the mere decor appeal ...

A young Indian on a 1930 voyage to Cambridge worked out a limit that still governs how stars die. The same mind then wrote the books, trained the people and edited the journal that made astrophysics ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...
