The results for OECD’s international student assessments have been released.

One of the most important numbers in maths might today be named after the Greek letter π or “pi,” but the convention of representing it this way actually doesn’t come from Greece at all.

British mathematician Sir Andrew J. Wiles has won the Abel Prize in math for cracking a centuries-old hypothesis.

Some statisticians say all coincidences are just due to random chance, and they are meaningless. Others disagree.

At least a fifth of adults have forgotten how to perform basic mathematical equations taught in school, according to new survey.

Have you ever experienced a strange coincidence and thought, “What are the odds of that?”

Until now, scientists have determined the mass of stars, planets, and moons by studying their motion in relation to others nearby, using the gravitational pull between the two as the basis for their calculations.

How strongly children identify with math—their math “self-concept”—can predict how high they will score on a standardized test of math achievement, a new study shows.
