For those drawn both to engineering and a seafaring life, marine engineering and nautical science are ideal careers.
Plants don’t just grow straight up. They can move in loopy and zigzagging ways to get more sunshine. And studying these movements goes all the way back to Darwin in the 19th century.
When children engage with STEM concepts their visual literacy and conceptual understanding of scientific concepts are strengthened.
André Weil was a mathematician. His sister Simone Weil was a philosopher. They both thought deeply about the nature and value of mathematics and mathematics education.
Structured maths has been put forward as the answer to New Zealand’s mathematics test results. But the government’s rationale for sweeping changes are based on numbers that don’t tell the full story.
Philosophy has been instrumental to AI since its inception.
Developing students’ mathematical power and confidence is key to creating true equity.
A new algorithm could reduce the amount of time it takes for ecologists to find bat roosts.
Districts across the country have struggled to improve access and diversity in advanced math classes for years. A new approach offers hope.
A new study uses maths and behavioural science to understand how your actions during an epidemic influence the spread of the disease (and vice versa).
Early writers on probability had explained how the ‘house advantage’ didn’t need to be large for a gambling enterprise to profit enormously. But gamblers and gambling operators were slow to catch on.
A new report analyses responses from more than 13,430 Australian students to understand their school experiences and how these impact on maths performance.
Want to bring extra life to a glass of champagne or soda water? Physicists will tell you to drop in a small object, such as a berry or raisin.
Our modern lives are influenced by algorithms at every step. We can trace this influence back more than 1,200 years ago – to a Muslim mathematician.
More than 3 million children in the US are homeschooled. Are they getting a good education?
More mathematics graduates, from more diverse backgrounds, are needed.
These are some of the most complex and important pieces of software ever written.
A flawed paper shakes confidence in the foundations of ‘quantum-proof’ encryption – and highlights the need for a new generation of experts.
With low-scoring games and a preponderance of deflected shots, randomness is much more likely to color NHL teams’ records than those of squads in the other four major US pro sports leagues.
