The Numerical Mathematics Consortium today announced the latest revision to a technical specification introduced earlier this year that defines an open mathematics semantics standard for numerical ...

What Is the Luhn Algorithm? The Math Behind Credit Card Transactions Find out how this simple algorithm from the 1960s catches your typos ...

Consider the standard algorithm for multidigit addition and subtraction, which makes its appearance in Grade 4 of the Common Core math standards.

The Common Core State Standards teach students the algorithm for multi-digit addition and subtraction in 4th grade. But some experts say it should be taught sooner.

Thus, our execution of the standard algorithm to compute 25 × 63 requires four small multiplications and some additions. What about the distributive approach? 25 × 63 = 25 × (60 + 3) = 25 × 60 + 25 × ...

Math can’t catch a break. These days, people on both ends of the political spectrum are lining up to deride the Common Core standards, a set of guidelines for K-12 education in reading and ...

Both Jason Zimba and Bill McCallum, co-authors of the Common Core math standards, have noted in public forums that the standard algorithm can be taught earlier.
