Can topological phases emerge from microscopic models *without* relying on complex calculations? This work bypasses ...

Former teacher Farnaz Ehtessabian pilots her tactile, audio-supported algebra cards with a local Boys & Girls Club, ...

Why do we live under the spell of the "decimal system"?We use the "decimal system" almost every day. We live surrounded by ...

David Kazhdan of Hebrew University and Joseph Bernstein of Tel Aviv University are among eight 2026 Wolf Prize laureates, ...

Eighth graders can be successful in Algebra 1, new research suggests—they just might need some extra support. The findings come from a study of San Francisco schools, which has had a turbulent history ...

Researchers are increasingly focused on understanding the behaviour of open quantum systems, those interacting with their environment, and a new work by Jan Derezinski (University of Warsaw), Vojkan ...

Representation theory studies the ways in which abstract algebraic objects—groups, rings, algebras and categories—can act by linear transformations on vector spaces or modules. By encoding an ...

You scrambled up a Rubik’s cube, and now you want to put it back in order. What sequence of moves should you make? Surprise: You can answer this question with modern algebra. You might remember ...

In this paper, we discuss a two-way mechanism for acquiring mathematical knowledge: dis-embodied-to-embodied and embodied-to-dis-embodied shifts. Shifting from an embodied representation to a ...

Abstract: Most natural matrices that incorporate information about a graph are the adjacency and the Laplacian matrices. These algebraic representations govern the fundamental concepts and tools in ...
