Abstract, pure math – solving disembodied equations filled with x's and y's – can often seem boring. Creative math teachers commonly try to come up with concrete, real-world examples to motivate ...

Mathematics is a universal language that explains the currents of the ocean, string theory, the spiral of a snail’s shell or the growth of a fern. When you study pure and applied mathematics, you ...

I started university a year ago, and I've mostly been taking math courses, which I haven't had too much trouble with. Right now I'm in a course on complex variables right now, but I'm not doing too ...

A branch of maths is being threatened by the focus of other subjects, a campaign has warned. 'Pure maths' is the popular subject in its most basic form. Demonstrated by the genius Alan Turing when he ...

Pure mathematics is concerned with the study of abstract structures and intrinsic properties of mathematical objects, independent of practical applications. This field encompasses a variety of domains ...

Alberta Education is changing the way it delivers math, eliminating pure math and giving students entering high school more choices. Instead of having to choose between pure or applied math, new high ...

A new field of concentration, Applied Mathematics, will be open to the class of 1967 next fall, the Committee on Applied Mathematics announced this week. Six upperclassmen, all candidates for Honors, ...

Nearly every scientific and engineering field needs applied math to make advances. Applied mathematicians team up with all types of experimentalists to accelerate research by predicting unexpected ...

The Calculus of Variations is a research field whose boundaries have been constantly pushed by questions emerging both in pure mathematics and in the applied sciences. The scope of this Workshop is to ...
