Through abstraction, the underlying essence of a mathematical concept can be extracted.
The discovery of a new prime number – and it’s a big one – is a great opportunity to revisit Marin Mersenne, the French theologian who dreamed of a formula that could predict where they hide.
Parents can teach very young children to “skip count” at the kitchen table, and it will set them up to be successful math learners throughout their secondary and post-secondary education.
With a proposition bet, the odds are always against you.
Prime numbers are a mathematical mystery.
Predicting human behavior is big business. But science may never be able to do so with perfect certainty.
But could the influences of Shanghai and Singapore help?
The voluntary ITP is a much-needed service that translates science-related digital materials into Arabic for a general audience.
