Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Last December, several members of a national organization for math education leaders came together to issue a warning. A growing movement in the field, they claimed, was calling on schools to adopt an ...

In this paper, we tackle the high computational overhead of transformers for lightweight image super-resolution. (SR). Motivated by the observations of self-attention's inter-layer repetition, we ...

For many individuals, growing uncomfortable with mathematics often starts in early childhood when they receive a worksheet with numbers on it. At this point in life, there may be feelings of panic, ...

Learning math is a deeply cognitive experience. But the strength of that learning is highly influenced by emotions. The brain systems we aim to recruit in education—attention, motivation, memory, and ...

Each installment of “Math, Revealed” starts with an object, uncovers the math behind it and follows it to places you wouldn’t expect. Each installment of “Math, Revealed” starts with an object, ...

I met with Ilana Walder-Biesanz, the leader of National Math Stars, to discuss her innovative program that's changing the landscape of advanced mathematics education for exceptionally gifted children.

A windowed sinc filter outperforms a moving-average filter in the frequency domain. Figure 1. The ideal filter X(f) in the frequency domain has a gain of 1 and a cutoff frequency fC. This result is in ...

A moving-average filter can address white noise in the time domain but performs poorly in the frequency domain. Figure 1. The convolution engine calculates y(tn) for n=6 (a) and then goes on to ...

In DeKalb County, Ala., elementary school math classes have gotten noisy. In a good way. Instead of worksheets and textbooks, children practice adding and subtracting with tiny toy bears. They ...
