Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own 'undecipherable' coded languages. Mathematicians now present 'big algebras,' a two-way mathematical 'dictionary' ...

I would lump mathematics in a similar category to language, art, music, etc. – inventions of the human mind that are highly relevant and meaningful to our species, but have no reality otherwise. It is ...

A new study challenges the common practice in many classrooms of teaching mathematical concepts by using "real-world," concrete examples. Researchers found that college students who learned a ...

Mathematics continues to serve as a fundamental language through which scientific phenomena are deciphered and understood. Its ability to provide models that not only describe but also explain ...

Masaki Kashiwara received the honor, often regarded as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, for work that combined different mathematical fields to solve challenging problems. By Kenneth Chang Masaki ...

The notion of the existence of mathematical ideas is a complex one. One way to look at it is that mathematics is about the use of logical thought to derive information, often information about other ...
