Artists and scientists explore how we subconsciously perceive subtle proportions in trees.
In this course, eight professors share their disciplinary perspectives to help students analyze proposed interventions for increasing wildfire risks.
Weather and climate models are both governed by the same physical processes. But that’s where most of the similarities end.
Why ‘sensitive dependence on initial conditions’ makes predicting the future so hard.
Did you know you have a ‘mental number line’, from smallest to largest? Turns out, so do bees.
The solution might lie in improving children’s spatial skills.
Research shows students often start primary school feeling optimistic about maths. This can decline as students progress through school and continue into adulthood.
Building an inclusive STEM workforce requires a long-term commitment from individuals, industry and the government.
Australia’s results from the latest ‘TIMSS’ test show a concerning gender gap in maths for Year 4 and Year 8 students.
The results from the 2023 ‘Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study’ were released on Wednesday night. Year 8 students, who also did the test, held steady.
Before the maverick French-American came along, the geometry used by mathematicians was out of step with reality.
Surveys show Americans do not believe the political system is serving them. A mathematician of democracy highlights evidence-based changes that could improve matters without tearing the nation apart.
