When Alfred University Associate Math Professor Amanda Lipnicki took up knitting as an undergraduate student, she didnt immediately recognize how mathematics and geometry underlay the patterns of ...

Mathematician Marcus du Sautoy traces the hidden patterns linking Shakespeare, symmetry, artificial intelligence, and football, arguing that mathematics is not cold calculation but the quiet engine of ...

Sean Gourley: When we sat down and looked at a conflict like Iraq, we saw that there were very strong mathematical patterns in size of attacks. And then when we looked at a conflict in a different ...

Pattern formation in physical, biological, and sociological systems has been studied for many years. One area where it has been of growing interest is in crime modeling. Pattern formation in physical, ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of tissues and organs, there is a hidden order that looks a lot like pure ...

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 behavior ...

This is the second in a two-part series. Part one can be found here. The debate over what early math should look like and what should be included in the Common Core State Standards for math is one of ...
