Report calls for new initiative to improve math education for preschoolers
To ensure that all children enter elementary school with the foundation they need for success, a major national initiative is needed to improve early childhood mathematics education, says a new report from the National Research Council. view more (2009-07-06)
New Mathematics Institute Launched To Tackle Global Problems
An international Institute of Mathematical Sciences to foster the application of mathematics to understanding and tackling emerging scientific problems is announced today by Imperial College London. The Institute will use mathematics to study outbreaks of epidemics and their control, bio-statistics, fluids in engineering and the environment. Staff... view more... (2003-12-11)
Study finds that students in voc-ed classes with enhanced math performed better on tests
In a study led by the University of Minnesota, researchers have found that high school students who took vocational education classes with enhanced mathematics instruction performed significantly better on standardized math tests than students in a control group. view more (2006-10-18)
US culture derails girl math whizzes
A culture of neglect and, at some age levels, outright social ostracism, is derailing a generation of students, especially girls, deemed the very best in mathematics, according to a new study. view more (2008-10-10)
Algebra adds value to mathematical biology education
As mathematics continues to become an increasingly important component in undergraduate biology programs, a more comprehensive understanding of the use of algebraic models is needed by the next generation of biologists to facilitate new advances in the life sciences, according to researchers at Sweet Briar College and the Virginia Bioinformatics... view more...

Mathematics and climate change
In 1994, University of Utah mathematician Ken Golden went to the Eastern Weddell Sea for the Antarctic Zone Flux Experiment. The sea's surface is normally covered with sea ice, the complex composite material that results when sea water is frozen. view more (2009-04-13)
Engineers create mathematical method to design better robots, structures
Mechanical and civil engineers have created a new mathematical method to design better structures, machines and versatile computer-controlled robots called "robot manipulators." view more (2006-01-12)
Pitt Team Receives $2.5 Million to Simulate and Analyze Brain, Immune System Activity and Apply Math to Medical Problems
In an effort to promote the application of mathematics to medical treatment, researchers in the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Mathematics will undertake a $2.5 million project to create models of how the brain and immune system function and change over time in response to certain illnesses, infections, and treatment. view more (2008-06-25)
Researchers master one of the largest, most complicated mathematical structures
Ever since 1887, when Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie discovered the mathematical group called E8, researchers have been trying to understand the extraordinarily complex object described by a numerical matrix of more than 400,000 rows and columns. view more (2007-03-21)
Maths Matters
From the maths of bell-ringing to the geometry of gothic windows, Maths Matters, the annual conference of the Mathematical Association, promises to be a memorable mathematical extravaganza. The conference, which takes place at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in April, will be opened by TV presenter Johnny Ball, who will share something of his... view more... (2003-02-25)
K-12 education should include engineering
The introduction of K-12 engineering education has the potential to improve student learning and achievement in science and mathematics, increase awareness about what engineers do and of engineering as a potential career, and boost students' technological literacy. view more (2009-09-09)
Dartmouth researchers develop computational tool to untangle complex data
A group of Dartmouth researchers have developed a mathematical tool that can be used to unscramble the underlying structure of time-dependent, interrelated, complex data, like the votes of legislators over their careers, second-by-second activity of the stock market, or levels of oxygenated blood flow in the brain. view more (2008-12-17)
Gresham College appoints Professor John Barrow to address the "Big Questions" of the Universe
Professor John Barrow, who has delivered lectures on cosmology at the Venice Film Festival, 10 Downing Street, Windsor Castle and the Vatican Palace, will begin a series of lectures on major developments in astronomy at Gresham College this autumn. Professor Barrow has been appointed by the Council of Gresham College as Gresham Professor of... view more... (2003-04-24)
Free software brings affordability, transparency to mathematics
Until recently, a student solving a calculus problem, a physicist modeling a galaxy or a mathematician studying a complex equation had to use powerful computer programs that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. view more (2007-12-07)
UCLA mathematician works to make virtual surgery a reality
A surgeon accidently kills a patient, undoes the error and starts over again. Can mathematics make such science fiction a reality? view more (2007-11-27)
140-year-old math problem solved by researcher
A problem which has defeated mathematicians for almost 140 years has been solved by a researcher at Imperial College London. view more (2008-03-04)
Rice's single-pixel camera takes high-res images
For all their ease and convenience, there are few things more wasteful than digital cameras. They're loaded with pricy microprocessors that chew through batteries at a breakneck pace, crunching millions of numbers per second in order to throw out up to 99 percent of the information flowing through the lens. view more (2006-10-03)
