Cheng (How to Bake π), a scientist in residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and honorary fellow at Sheffield University, tackles some difficult concepts in this superb study of the ...

In Math, we often talk of how a function behaves as a variable approaches limits at infinity. That is, if we let “x” take on larger and larger values, what happens to the value of “y” it creates? It ...

Albert Einstein famously said: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe.” The notion of infinity has been pondered by the greatest minds over the ...

Measuring the kinetic energy of a speeding car works because that value has a floor: it can’t drop below zero. The same goes for momentum in a subatomic particle. Mathematicians describe these ...

👉 We will explore how to evaluate the limit at infinity. When evaluating the limit at infinity or negative infinity we are interested to know where is the graph going right and left. This is also ...

Engage your KS5 Maths students with this interactive Limit Maze worksheet. In this activity, students must evaluate various limits to successfully navigate the path from the START cell to the FINISH ...

Last time, we ended with the discussion that no one yet knows whether the universe is finite or infinite. This time, Seitaka begins to count numbers. He thinks that if he keeps counting, infinity ...

For 50 years, mathematicians have believed that the total number of real numbers is unknowable. A new proof suggests otherwise. In October 2018, David Asperó was on holiday in Italy, gazing out a car ...
