All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

Commutative algebra and graph theory are two vibrant areas of mathematics that have grown increasingly interrelated. At this interface, algebraic methods are applied to study combinatorial structures, ...

A function is a way of describing what happens to an input variable, in order to get the output result. \(\text{Input} \rightarrow \text{FUNCTION} \rightarrow \text{Output}\) If we think of a simple ...

The women behind "Moebius Noodles: Adventurous Math for the Playground Crowd" are back with another fun math game they call Function Machines. I introduced Maria Droujkova and Yelena McManaman last ...

If you or your kids are preparing for an advanced math or science course, you’re going to need a graphing calculator. These handy machines can process complex calculations (and simple ones), including ...

“There are five fundamental operations in mathematics,” the German mathematician Martin Eichler supposedly said. “Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modular forms.” Part of the joke, ...
