Peter Badge. Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges between them is notoriously difficult. Today, the Norwegian ...

The first time that University of Oxford astronomer Lyla Jung saw the cosmic configuration on her monitor, she almost didn’t believe it was real. But it was—and Jung and her colleagues went on to ...

ABSTRACT: The paper presents some results on partially ordered rings. In section 2, it is shown that Archimedean directed maximal partial orders on integral domains must be total orders. Section 3 ...

ABSTRACT: Without modifying the Standard Model Lagrangian, a representation of the flavors of elementary fermions (quarks and leptons) is introduced in terms of a triplet of internal colors, each ...

A sharp rise in students entering the University of California system without middle school-level math skills is raising alarms among educators. A new internal report from the University of California ...

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 ...

Algebraic structures such as operads, Lie algebras and higher A∞-algebras underpin many foundational aspects of modern mathematics. When combined with homotopy theory—the study of continuous ...

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

Growing up, Tai-Danae Bradley had no love for math. In 2008, she entered the City College of New York, where she played for the basketball team and hoped to start a career in sports nutrition. She saw ...
