I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

This article presents a way of studying the rationality that mathematics teachers utilize in managing the teaching of theorems in high-school geometry. More generally, the study illustrates how to ...

Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...

Highly powered writers I respect recently recommended the book Trees, maps, and theorems by Dr. Jean-luc Doumont as a set of coherent recommendations for improving communications, and I am happy to ...

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced mathematical concepts. Mastering this theorem enhances logical reasoning, ...

For centuries, the Pythagorean Theorem has occupied a unique position in mathematics: both elementary and profound. Its equation, a² + b² = c², is taught early and used widely, yet its implications ...

Herbert Simon, the Nobel-prize winning economist, was a techno-enthusiast. In 1956 he predicted that, “within 10 years, computers would beat the world chess champion, compose ‘aesthetically satisfying ...

Random walks constitute one of the cornerstone concepts in probability theory and statistical physics, representing a class of stochastic processes in which a moving entity takes successive steps in ...
