Math difficulty is still not well understood. But a systems approach may lead to advances in diagnosis and treatment.

In math class, we are taught that "multiplication is repeated addition." However, that is merely a matter of convenience for rewriting "2×3" as "2+2+2." When we touch the depths of mathematics, we ...

On a warm morning in early spring, June Huh walked across the campus of Princeton University. His destination was McDonnell Hall, where he was scheduled to teach, and he wasn’t quite sure how to get ...

June Huh thought he had no talent for math until a chance meeting with a legendary mind. A decade later, his unorthodox approach to mathematical thinking has led to major breakthroughs. On a warm ...

In this article, derivations of algebras of unbounded operators acting on a Hilbert space are discussed. Derivations appear as the generators of one-parameter groups that express the symmetries and ...

David Corfield likes theorems that say what’s special about the real numbers — especially theorems where ℝ \mathbb{R} emerges unexpectedly at the end, like a rabbit from a magician’s hat. He enjoys ...

Schoolchildren from Caversham have become the first to learn a brand new theory that dividing by zero is possible using a new number - 'nullity'. But the suggestion has left many mathematicians cold.
