Engineers design safer cars, more resilient spacecraft, and stronger bridges using complex math problems that drive the underlying processes. Similarly, doctors use mathematical models to predict ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft respond to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

Organizational strategies that help students break complex word problems into manageable chunks may be the key to solving them, according to a 2025 study.

(THE CONVERSATION) Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...
