How few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...
Boston College Professor of Mathematics Martin Bridgeman has been elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, the fourth member of the Mathematics Department to achieve the distinction.
The team, led by renowned Chinese-American mathematician Yau Shing-Tung, says their model can be used to analyse many scenarios. They range from how gut microbes interact and trigger inflammation ...
In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school.
And yet, undeterred, Ne’Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson published their new proofs October 28 in American Mathematical Monthly. “Some people have the impression that you have to be in academia ...
Today they become published authors of a new peer-reviewed paper detailing their discoveries, published in the journal American Mathematical Monthly. Many mathematicians over the years have proved ...
One of their proofs was previously presented at a conference and their new solutions were published Monday in the journal American Mathematical Monthly. They started studying the math problem as ...
