The proof Wiles finally came up with (helped by Richard Taylor) was something Fermat would never have dreamed up. It tackled the theorem indirectly, by means of an enormous bridge that mathematicians ...

MATH 1080, part of the Summer Bridge Program, is a course to assist students in refreshing their skills in mathematics from the fundamentals of arithmetic to college-level algebra, trigonometry, and ...

In this context, bridge courses are likely to produce a cohort of students who will mostly be "second-class citizens" among the rest of the "mainstream" students much better versed in Mathematics and ...

The prestige and high salaries associated with some STEM-related jobs may entice students to pursue degrees in STEM fields. Yet after they start the required college math courses, many realize there's ...

I first heard about elite math competitions when I was homeschooling my kids (yes, I homeschooled my children for eight years). I read about the International Math Olympiad and MathCounts, and heard ...

Mathematicians have figured out how to expand the reach of a mysterious bridge connecting two distant continents in the mathematical world. The proof Wiles finally came up with (helped by Richard ...
