We spoke with an expert from Vanderbilt University about why patterns aren't included in the Common Core State Standards for kindergarten math and whether they should be added.

Simple patterns can be found almost everywhere in the environment, from drain covers to leaves and road markings, say Julie ...

Over the last half 50 years, fractals have challenged ideas about geometry and pushed math, science and technology into unexpected areas.

The mathematics behind how such never-repeating patterns are created is very useful in understanding how they are formed and even in designing them with specific properties.

Patterns are all around us in nature too: in the number of petals on flowers, in the shapes of a snowflake, the shape of fruit or seeds in a sunflower.

Unlock the fascinating world of geometry as we explore every complex shape explained in clear, simple terms. From polygons ...

In March, a group of mathematicians identified a thirteen-sided shape called “the hat” that can tile a surface without any patterns repeating. Now the researchers are updating the shape to ...

The New Math of Wrinkling Patterns A comprehensive mathematical framework treats these crinkles as elegant solutions to geometric problems.
