NAEP, the division of the U.S. Department of Education that produces the " Nation's Report Card," found that the "heavy emphasis" on algebra and functions at grade 4 were 23 percentage points higher ...

The basic functions taught in high school algebra (e.g., linear, polynomial, etc.) are used to model patterns in data. We have been pursuing this possibility by developing a statistics and data ...

SDFs in 2D A signed distance function in 2D is more straightforward to reason about so we’ll cover it first. Additionally, it is helpful for font rendering in specific scenarios.

There is a function in math called the “Greatest Integer Function,” which assigns a value to every number that is the largest integer less than or equal to that number. For example, the numbers 1, 1.2 ...

Modular forms are much more complicated and enigmatic functions, and students don’t typically encounter them until graduate school. But “there are probably fewer areas of math where they don’t have ...
