Ian Stewart on Reaching for the Extreme
Many of the deepest and most important areas of mathematics have emerged from questions about extremes—the shortest path between two points on a curved surface, the smallest area spanning a wire, or the fewest colors needed to make a map.

?tienne Ghys on The Football
?tienne Ghys takes readers on an entertaining and fact-filled exploration of the mathematical secrets of the most popular spherical object on the planet. Discover why ballistics, friction, and air flow are key to scoring goals—and why the football is a mathematical problem that engineers are still trying to solve.

Pi Day with John Horton Conway, revisited
Over several years, while writing Genius at Play, my biography of the always wondrous yet often pernickety one-of-a-kind mathematician John Horton Conway, I was plied by my subject with a smorgasbord of tales.

Raúl Rojas on The Language of Mathematics
The history of language and mathematical notation is filled with chance and serendipity. I want readers to see mathematics as a living organism, a living subject, with a history. Mathematics is all about logical truth, and the discipline seems forged in steel. But in fact, mathematics evolved through different phases.

Our innumerate democracy
The Declaration of Independence is a mathematical document. It starts by proclaiming certain truths to be self-evident and proceeds to list them. In math, such statements are the axioms of a theory.
