Elementary school students sometimes exhibit deplorable behaviors when faced with arithmetic problems. These behaviors may result from certain teaching practices and could be mitigated by a few actions that are relatively easy to implement…
The amount of information available to the mathematics teacher is so enormous that the selection of desirable content is gradually becoming a huge task in itself. With respect to the inclusion of elements of history of mathematics in…
Mathematical challenges punctuate the history of early modern mathematics. While cultural historians have attempted to contextualize these challenges among contemporary practices, in particular duels or advertisements in a competitive…
The article deals with the problems of information and communication technologies (ICT) development in teaching mathematics of engineering specialities students in the United States. In the article the nature of trends of convergence of…
Data-driven predictive models are increasingly used in education to support students, instructors, and administrators. However, there are concerns about the fairness of the predictions and uses of these algorithmic systems. In this…
Everything has already been said about the Monty Hall problem, to the point of attracting attention of the high school mathematics program. The purpose of this text is therefore not to add more, but rather to to sort it out while clarifying…
It is rare to succeed in getting mathematics into ordinary conversation without meeting all kinds of reservations. In order to raise public awareness of mathematics effectively, it is necessary to modify such attitudes. In this paper, we…
Mathematical information is essential for technical work, but its creation, interpretation, and search are challenging. To help address these challenges, researchers have developed multimodal search engines and mathematical question…
We assess the situation of our elementary Linear Algebra classes in the US holistically and through personal history recollections. Possible remedies for our elementary Linear Algebra's teaching problems are discussed and a change from…
The paper is devoted to technology of math. education in Russia in special mathematical schools ("listkovaya systema"). This system has positive sides and most classes in Russian mathematical schools or circles almost always uses it.…
This paper provides some reflections on the field of mathematical software on the occasion of John Rice's 65th birthday. I describe some of the common themes of research in this field and recall some significant events in its evolution.…
This article contains a selection of problems from the American Mathematics Competitions.
Mathematical literacy plays an important role in supporting individuals to fulfil their professional roles in modern society. The affordances of mobile technologies as well as the emergence of new theories in mobile learning have the…
Many mathematicians find mathematics aesthetically beautiful and even comparable to art forms such as music or painting. On the other hand, every year a great number of school students leave mathematics with total disillusionment and…
This overview article highlights the critical role of mathematics in artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing that mathematics provides tools to better understand and enhance AI systems. Conversely, AI raises new problems and drives the…
An opiniated essay on what pure mathematics is and why the adjective "pure" in "pure mathematics" is not a good choice.
In recent paper "Quantifying Inequities and Documenting Elitism in PhD-granting Mathematical Sciences Departments in the United States" (arXiv:2308.13750) by a group of accomplished and/or aspiring mathematicians, the authors use data to…
In the Forum section of the November, 1993 Notices of the American Mathematical Society, John Franks discussed the electronic journal of the future. Since then, the New York Journal of Mathematics, the first electronic general mathematics…
Mathematical modelling and ethics have more touching points than most of us would like to admit. Everyday decisions are often reasoned by mathematical arguments. Mathematics teachers belong to those mathematically literate, who must point…
We provide a theoretical framework for analysing and comparing different forms of organizing introductions to mathematical analysis at the secondary level, then illustrate it by two characteristic examples from certain periods of change in…
