Having spent a lot of time pondering the octonionic projective plane and its possible role in the Standard Model of particle physics, I’m now getting interested in the ‘bioctonionic plane’, which is ...

“No matter your business, you cannot stay still for any length of time or your competitors will scratch and claw all over you.” That’s how Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank described life in the real ...

Black and Latino students are much less likely to have early access to Algebra 1 than their white and Asian peers—even when they’re in the same schools, and have similarly high math scores, according ...

Ask the publishers to restore access to 500,000+ books. An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon. A line drawing of the Internet Archive headquarters building ...

In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation for modern geometry and physics. Standing in the middle of a field, we can ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we will use Geometric Algebra to be able to embed the Klein-Gordon equation for a particle in a non-Euclidean field (gravitational field). This way, we will obtain an ...

Courtney Gibbons is affiliated with the Association for Women in Mathematics and the American Mathematical Society. You might remember learning about the quadratic formula to figure out the solutions ...

A mathematician has built an algebraic solution to an equation that was once believed impossible to solve. The equations are fundamental to maths as well as science, where they have broad applications ...

Polynomial equations are a cornerstone of modern science, providing a mathematical basis for celestial mechanics, computer graphics, market growth predictions and much more. But although most high ...

Most people’s experiences with polynomial equations don’t extend much further than high school algebra and the quadratic formula. Still, these numeric puzzles remain a foundational component of ...
