- Mon, 03 Oct 2022 17:27:43 +0000: Study shows how math, science identity in students affects college, career outcomes - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Two researchers have published a study that asked students if they see themselves as a math or science person, then followed up with them several times in following years. Results showed those who said yes in ninth grade were much likelier to major in STEM subjects and work in related fields after college. The results show the importance of helping students have positive math and science experiences early and could be a way to help address equity gaps in STEM. - Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:08:18 +0000: Mathematics enable scientists to understand organization within a cell's nucleus - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have developed a new mathematical technique to begin to understand how a cell's nucleus is organized. They hope this understanding will expose vulnerabilities that can be targeted to reprogram a cell to stop cancer or other diseases. - Wed, 07 Sep 2022 17:31:46 +0000: What is the best way to group students? Math model - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have developed a new approach that uses math to determine the best ways to group individuals to maximize learning.
