Corrected: An earlier version of this story misspelled the name of Julie Sarama, a researcher who has developed strategies for building the mathematical skills of preschool students. A pair of New ...

Using simple blocks with shapes like cubes or hourglasses, researchers have found ways to construct strong panels with no fasteners securing most of the blocks. Such constructions remain intact even ...

New building blocks can interlock without cement, and stay strong when damaged. Large versions of the bricks could give flexible foundations to buildings in earthquake zones, says one of the team that ...

Hilbert’s 12th problem asked for novel analogues of the roots of unity, the building blocks for certain number systems. Now, over 100 years later, two mathematicians have produced them. Problems in ...

The class Geometry Fundamentals for Welding teaches students how geometry is used in welding. A fundamental understanding of geometry and geometric concepts is a necessary skill for welding. This ...
