And what if their patterns helped humans puzzle out numeric mysteries? These are some of the questions that Christophe Golé, professor of mathematical sciences, and his co-authors explore in their new ...

The New Math of Wrinkling Patterns A comprehensive mathematical framework treats these crinkles as elegant solutions to geometric problems.

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our ...

Play a math and movement game making patterns with Caitlin Cargill and Madison. Large colored dots placed on the floor prompt Madison to do arm circles on purple dots, squats on red dots, and a ...

More than 70 years ago, mathematician Alan Turing proposed a mechanism that explained how patterns could emerge from bland uniformity. Scientists are still using his model—and adding new twists ...

Today, I want to start with a much broader question: What do we really know about how to teach math to children? The answer is not all that much—and what little we do know is highly contested.
