I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

As high school students, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson worked to find valid new proof for the 2,000-year-old theorem Two college freshmen who, during their final year of high school, found a new ...

If two people pick alternate slices from a pizza that has been cut unevenly from an off-centre point, common sense suggests one of them will walk away with more. But geometry says otherwise. In the ...

On June 23, 1993, the mathematician Andrew Wiles gave the last of three lectures detailing his solution to Fermat’s last theorem, a problem that had remained unsolved for three and a half centuries.

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced mathematical concepts. Mastering this theorem enhances logical reasoning, ...

You might be surprised to learn that you can’t comb the hairs flat on a coconut without creating a cowlick. Perhaps even more surprising, this silly claim with an even sillier name, the “hairy ball ...
