With last week’s announcements of the 2024 Nobel Prize winners, I wanted to dedicate an article to the major accolades that honor achievements and contributions in mathematics. While Alfred Nobel did ...
Proof of the conjecture—commonly viewed as one of the most outstanding challenges in a field of math known as the representation theory of finite groups—is published in the Annals of Mathematics.
This approach is actually tied to a famous debate in mathematics. It’s not my lack of decisiveness that would provoke a mathematician’s ire (unless they were standing behind me in line).
Both breakthroughs are advances in the field of representation theory of finite groups, a subset of algebra. Representation theory is an important tool in many areas of math, including number ...
Boaler’s focus on improving “equitable outcomes” for the majority of students leaves mathematically talented students–who will be working in fields where a solid foundation of mathematics is most ...
