When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

In a recent work [6], Borwein and Borwein derived a class of algorithms based on the theory of elliptic integrals that yield very rapidly convergent approximations to elementary constants. The author ...

Mathematics often seems like an abstract concept, but its applications can have profound impacts on the world around us. From predicting the next word in a sentence to understanding how Google’s ...

Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...
