Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

Everyone agreed on the first step: Solve inside the parentheses, for 2+2=4. But after that, people split down two paths. Some multiplied first, while others divided, leading to different answers—1 and ...

Math is a problem — one that a relentless onslaught of testing has not solved. Some assume kids are the ones failing, but it’s time to acknowledge that it’s our tests and the curriculum they determine ...
