If two people pick alternate slices from a pizza that has been cut unevenly from an off-centre point, common sense suggests one of them will walk away with more. But geometry says otherwise.In the ...

On June 23, 1993, the mathematician Andrew Wiles gave the last of three lectures detailing his solution to Fermat’s last theorem, a problem that had remained unsolved for three and a half centuries.

Mathematics students frequently encounter challenges when tackling geometric concepts, especially those requiring spatial visualisation skills. The transition from basic arithmetic to geometric ...

Circle theorems are properties that are true for all circles, regardless of their size. There are six theorems to learn and recognise. Questions can have a combination of theorems. It is important to ...

I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

An idea from topology explains why you can never get rid of your cowlicks—and, oddly enough, it’s critical in nuclear fusion ...

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced mathematical concepts. Mastering this theorem enhances logical reasoning, ...
