This course will focus on reading and writing mathematics. Students will learn how to analyze and interpret mathematical statements and understand the reasoning behind these statements. They will also ...
What makes a proof stronger than a guess? What does evidence look like in the realm of mathematical abstraction? Hear the mathematician Melanie Matchett Wood explain how probability helps to guide ...

In this article we examine students' perspectives on the customary, public work of proving in American high school geometry classes. We analyze transcripts from 29 interviews in which 16 students ...
As he was brushing his teeth on the morning of July 17, 2014, Thomas Royen, a little-known retired German statistician, suddenly lit upon the proof of a famous conjecture at the intersection of ...
A mathematician will turn a groundbreaking 100-page proof into computer code. The proof tool, Lean, lets users turn proofs written in prose into rules and logic for testing. Kevin Buzzard already uses ...
