Some numbers are so unimaginably large that they defy the bounds of modern mathematics, and now mathematicians are closing in ...

In Obduction, the Villeins use a base 4 number system — and you'll have to use it to solve puzzles. To understand it, you have to think about our own numbers for a minute.

For high school students, it could be a way to introduce arithmetic progressions, modular addition, or an idea of number systems with a base different than 10. For mathematics in other Small Number's ...

A mathematician has solved a 200-year-old maths problem after figuring out a way to crack higher-degree polynomial equations without using radicals or irrational numbers.

We are concerned that end-point characterizations of what children are to know, such as new curriculum standards defining fractions as points on a number line, are becoming de facto curricular ...

Laws of indices: Multiplication, division, and power to a power. A base number or variable raised to an index, or power, means a number has been multiplied by itself that many times.

Preschool-age children who frequently play number-related games at home show better math skills and growth by the end of kindergarten, finds a new study in the journal Child Development.

As such, it’s called a “base 10” system. Every number is made of a combination of 10 single digits 0-9, and every new “place” in a number represents 10 of the “place” before it.

For high school students, it could be a way to introduce arithmetic progressions, modular addition, or an idea of number systems with a base different than 10. For mathematics in other Small Number's ...
