Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Word problems involve reading, executive functioning, problem solving, computation and vocabulary, which means there are a lot of ways for students to go wrong when trying to solve them.

Spatial ability has been shown to be related to the ability to develop accurate and schematic mental representations of problems during the problem-solving process. The purpose of this study was to ...

You might be most familiar with x from math class. Many algebra problems use x as a variable, to stand in for an unknown quantity. But why is x the letter chosen for this role?

Story problems can help young learners grasp math concepts, but teachers must design and scaffold them carefully.

By harnessing randomness, a new algorithm achieves a fundamentally novel — and faster — way of performing one of the most basic computations in math and computer science.

For decades, this math problem has stumped the smartest mathematicians in the world. It took a supercomputer and millions of hours to finally solve it.

Two linear equations with two unknowns can be described in terms of a 2×2 matrix and a vector, both of which are encoded using three of the qubits. The fourth qubit is an “ancilla”, which is set to a ...
