AI solves an 80 year-old Erdős problem.

By Keith Devlin @KeithDevlin@fediscience.org, @profkeithdevlin.bsky.social Much of the attention on uses of AI has focused of late on Anthropic’s Claude. In particular, Claude’s discovery of 23,000 potential security vulnerabilities across 1,000 Open Source Software products. With evidence like that, we should all assume that any publicly available software product we use has one or more security flaws....

Beyond Math: The Value of Research Collaborations for Career Advancement

By Kimberly P. Hadaway, Pamela E. Harris, Kimberly J. Harry, Lucy Martinez, Miriam G. Norris, and Rebecca Patrias Research collaborations in mathematics can create beautiful spaces where informal mentoring and professional guidance naturally emerge. Our group – spanning graduate students to tenured faculty – formed at a research workshop [1] to develop a unifying juggling...

The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction, 1908-2008: People, Events, and Challenges in Mathematics Education

One of the oldest and most influential international organizations for advancing mathematics education, the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) has had a symbiotic relationship with the history of mathematics education throughout its existence. After all, ICMI was originally conceived by David Eugene Smith (1860–1944), who was instrumental in establishing both history of mathematics and mathematics education...

Merging Numeracy with Literacy Practices for Equity in Multilingual Early Year Settings

Merging Numeracy with Literacy Practices for Equity in Multilingual Early Year Settings, written by Robyn Jorgensen and Mellony Graven, is a text that provides a wealth of grounded and concrete examples on how educators may support the development of numeracy and literacy skills in early childhood settings, including resources that address these ideas both at...

STEM in the Technopolis: The Power of STEM Education in Regional Technology Policy

This volume makes the case that the training of future STEM employees should begin as early as possible, as early as elementary grades. Case studies include industry, government, K-12 school systems and academia stakeholders coming together to collaborate on not only economic growth but also innovations in social inclusion and infrastructure. Improving K-12 students’ belief...

Doing Research: A New Researcher’s Guide

This slim 133-page, conversational, easy-to-read, practical volume is intended for new mathematics education researchers, whether these be graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, or faculty beginning to conduct research in mathematics education. The authors are a former editorial team for the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education; this gave them the advantage of knowing what reviewers/referees are likely...

Enabling Mathematics Learning of Struggling Students

This book contains thirteen research-based articles discussing 21st century learning disabilities in mathematics using a teaching perspective on how teachers can address students with these conditions. Now more than ever with pre-pandemic days in classrooms, there is a learning gap with students being deprived of learning basic counting skills to knowing simple algebraic properties. The...

STEM Education in the Early Years

STEM Education in the Early Years by Larkin and Lowrie synthesizes best practices in STEM education and draws on a four-year STEM longitudinal study conducted in preschools with 4-8 years old kids in Australia. Consisting of seven chapters, the volume discusses a range of theories, from Vygotsky's work to a constructivist view and their fit of...

Connecting Mathematics and Mathematics Education

This collection of papers strives to support mathematics education as a design science in the area of representations in primary classrooms, supporting mathematics education as an autonomous, interdisciplinary, well-established discipline. The goal is to consider mathematics and mathematics education intertwined, including the historical development of mathematical discoveries. This book would be most enjoyed by those...

Play and STEM Education in the Early Years

In this text, Drs. Tunnicliffe and Kennedy compiled various STEM-based research from around the world to add to the knowledge base about STEM education for young learners. There are four main parts of the book that have different focus topics, such as the use of play in educational learning, STEM programs and training in various...

All-Attainment Teaching in Secondary Mathematics

This book is a scholarly report of Colin Jackson’s research on the experiences, supports, and obstacles faced by teachers in the United Kingdom who are committed to all-attainment teaching in mathematics at the secondary level. “All-attainment teaching” is defined as teaching that occurs in classrooms that are deliberately organized to include students with a variety...

AwesomeMath Admission Tests

Note: this is a review of two volumes in this series covering 2006-2014 and 2015-2021. These books present problems that have constituted part of the admissions requirements for the Awesome Math Summer Program (AMSP) for middle school and high school students, cofounded and directed by Titu Andreescu, who has created the ”vast majority” of the problems....
