Picture a tune that plays with your mind. It does not go straight but skips and flips in ways you do not expect. That is math rock. It avoids common music paths, which makes it feel fresh and smart.

I consider myself a computer science (CS) theoretician, but Wikipedia describes me as a “mathematician and computer scientist.” a So, what am I? To answer that question, we must consider theoretical ...

There are some pretty nebulous concepts in mathematics that can be hard to wrap your head around, but the meaning of 'equals' was one we thought we had covered. It turns out that mathematicians ...

Say you’re at a party with nine other people and everyone shakes everyone else’s hand exactly once. How many handshakes take place? This is the “handshake problem,” and it’s one of my favorites. As a ...
