Sixth Grader Kai Collins walked through a “Logic Maze.” Hattie Hopkins smoothly used a “Funny Face” camera that distorts everyone it shoots. And another young student used a laser at the “Ring of Fire ...

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our behavior ...

This is the second in a two-part series. Part one can be found here. The debate over what early math should look like and what should be included in the Common Core State Standards for math is one of ...

John Conway’s Game of Life, a famous cellular automaton, has been found to have periodic patterns of every possible length. In 1969, the British mathematician John Conway devised a beguilingly simple ...

Remember the graph paper you used at school, the kind that’s covered with tiny squares? It’s the perfect illustration of what mathematicians call a “periodic tiling of space”, with shapes covering an ...

“Why bring together two fields that seem to many people so very disparate" What could mathematics and poetry share, except that the mention of either one is sometimes enough to bring an uneasy chill ...
