Venn diagrams have helped the development of logic and computing.
Nearly four decades after President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first National Math Awareness Week, math readiness and enrollment in college math programs continue to decline.
I crunched the numbers, and they suggest the Robodebt algorithm’s error rate was on the order of 80%.
Maths anxiety is the feeling of tension and worry that interferes with a person’s ability to solve mathematical problems. It can be seen in children as young as five.
Pi gets a lot of attention this time of year, but there are plenty of other mathematical constants just as deserving of recognition.
Recent research shows how the relationship between alcohol consumption, queuing and crowds can lead to violent behaviour in city centres at night.
