This project is built upon the same idea of the Polymath project that massive collaboration in mathematics is possible and possibly quite fruitful. However, this is specifically aimed at only high school and college students with a goal of creating "a specific opportunity for the upcoming generation of math and science researchers."
Damath was invented by Jesus Huenda, a teacher in the province of Sorsogon, Philippines, who had encountered problems in teaching math using traditional teaching methods. Inspired in part by an investigatory project called “Dama de Numero” submitted by a student (Emilio Hina Jr.) in 1975, Huenda overhauled the game and introduced it to his ...
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and integer-valued functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics." Number theory also studies the natural, or whole, numbers.
The Clay Mathematics Institute officially designated the title Millennium Problem for the seven unsolved mathematical problems, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Hodge conjecture, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, P versus NP problem, Riemann hypothesis, Yang–Mills existence and mass gap, and the Poincaré conjecture at the ...
Private individuals, foundations, and nearly 100 Academic Sponsor Institutions, including the top mathematics departments in the United States, also provide crucial support and flexibility. Jim Simons , founder of Renaissance Technologies and a Berkeley alumnus, was a long-time supporter of the institute and served on the board of trustees.
Connected Mathematics is a comprehensive mathematics program intended for U.S. students in grades 6–8.The curriculum design, text materials for students, and supporting resources for teachers were created and have been progressively refined by the Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) at Michigan State University with advice and contributions from many mathematics teachers, curriculum ...
Applications and examples of experimental mathematics include: Searching for a counterexample to a conjecture Roger Frye used experimental mathematics techniques to find the smallest counterexample to Euler's sum of powers conjecture. The ZetaGrid project was set up to search for a counterexample to the Riemann hypothesis.
The Jahrbuch Project: Electronic Research Archive for Mathematics — extensive archive of 17,772 links to facsimiles of (mainly German) publications from 1868–1942. MathDL: Journal of Online Mathematics and its Applications — this is an MAA sub-journal.
