Ben Liu is a quantitative problem solver. Liu has modeled aspects of cells and measured the limits of cardio-electrophysiological models as an undergraduate in RIT’s School of Mathematical Sciences.

A key part—though surely not the only part—of early-grades math is ensuring students get the basic arithmetic functions down and, beyond that, making sure they’re able to swiftly and automatically ...

Teaching novices how to formulate mathematical models for ill-structured problems is a challenging task. Little is known about how novices approach ill-structured problems and how their performance ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...

Think math is uninteresting? Try using it to answer fundamental problems that provoke interest and wonderment, such as calculating the distance to the moon. "It is a beautiful problem with an eloquent ...

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...

As interest in chatbots spreads like wildfire, mathematicians are beginning to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) could help them to do their work. Whether it’s assisting with verifying ...
