The field of Reverse Mathematics explores the minimal axiomatic frameworks necessary to prove classical theorems, seeking to elucidate the logical foundations of mathematics. In parallel, ...

“The parentheses feel artificial.” The octonions’ seemingly unphysical nonassociativity has crippled many physicists’ efforts to exploit them, but Baez explained that their peculiar math has also ...

Reverse mathematics is a vibrant programme in mathematical logic that investigates the axioms necessary to establish fundamental theorems throughout mathematics. Central to this endeavour are ...

The “A Mirror Maze” exhibit is currently on view at the Museum of Science in Boston. PHOTO BY FELIX PHILLIPS/ DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF Have you ever observed the branching of your eye’s blood vessels?

The exhibit looks at how there's math and patterns behind the beauty of nature. Some of theexhibit pieces are interactive and create sounds. Conservatory manager Mark House said the exhibit is really ...

Measuring coastlines isn’t as simple as you might think. This video unpacks the coastline paradox, where natural irregularities and scaling make exact measurements impossible. See how math and nature ...
