Mathematicians have long pondered the reach of a grazing goat tied to a fence, only finding approximate answers until now. Here’s a simple-sounding problem: Imagine a circular fence that encloses one ...

Now, I taught junior high school math for three years, so when I saw this simple equation, I knew I could solve it quickly and I did just that. Before you see my answer, go ahead and solve it for ...

Part of the beauty of mathematics is that seemingly simple patterns lead to much more complicated questions and theories. The Collatz conjecture, which is the subject of a new video from YouTube ...
