In 1915, the Mathematical Association of America formed to encourage advanced mathematics teaching in the United States. Members received a journal called The American Mathematical Monthly and ...

The University of Manchester has been gifted a unique mathematical object known as a Gömböc – the first known physical example of a new class of shapes called mono-monostatics. The Gömböc is tangible ...

Mathematics is an important aspect of learning. While most despise studying numbers and theorems, mathematics is—as some have poetically put it—the language of the universe. An understanding of ...
