What might be a numerical fulcrum? Consider the sequence of consecutive positive integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Which, if any, integer could serve as a fulcrum for the sequence? One way to create a meaning in this context is to ask if there exists a...
In the manner of a large rock dropped into a tranquil pool the intellectual stir created in the 1870's by Stanley Jevons in London, Carl Menger in Vienna, and Leon Walras in Lausanne, sent waves in all directions, some of which have not entirely...
When Synta Bogan goes to work, she summarizes and interprets data to help run education programs for kids. She is a financial analyst. When Larry Cao goes to work, he models shapes and motion with mathematical equations to build apps that help us run...
This pull-out is the first part of a two part series. In Activity 1, students are introduced to some basic definitions and concepts in network science. Students learn what a network is and are given some basic background about networks that includes...

When we think about future innovators—those who will drive breakthroughs in technology, science, and business—we don’t always consider how fundamental math is to their success. But at the core of many innovations is something as powerful as math...
When binary data are transmitted electronically, in telecommunications, computers, and CD players, errors may occur in the binary digits (bits). To correct them, extra check digits are sent along with the information digits, so message sequences are...
