The drive to get every student to take so-called college gateway courses has succeeded, a new federal study finds, but students taking Algebra 1 and Geometry classes are getting considerably less ...

Noncommutative geometry, at its core, challenges the classical notion of a point by allowing coordinates to fail to commute. This alteration leads to a rich interplay between geometry and algebra, ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of recent work by the ...

For decades, generations of Americans took the same basic high school math track. Algebra. Geometry. Algebra 2. Now, school districts across the country are overhauling their approach, combining ...

The study of algebraic geometry encompasses the investigation of geometric structures defined by polynomial equations, with particular attention given to their intrinsic and extrinsic properties. A ...

A top-rated public university says many of its students can’t round numbers or add fractions.

Eighth-grade math is changing: Instead of emphasizing Algebra I where only some students thrive, many schools are placing all students in the same general class that covers several concepts. Common ...

California students who fail algebra and repeat the course are pretty much doomed to fail again, a vicious cycle that wastes limited resources and precious learning time, according to a report ...

Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry. It can be seen as the study of solution sets of systems of polynomials.
