Chika Ofili, a Nigerian boy, 12-year-old living in London just discovered a new Formula for divisibility by 7 in maths. Multiply the last digit by 5 and add it to the remaining numbers. For Example 532 53+2 x 5 = 63 which is a multiple of 7. So, 532 is divisible by 7. Chika Ofili has been presented with a special Recognition Award for making a new discovery in mathematics. A Proof for his Discovery: If x+5b=0 mod 7 then multiplying by 10 we get 10x+50b=0 mod 7. But 50 is just 1 mod 7 so we...

In 1975, Steve Selvin sent a letter to the American Statistician posing a probability brain teaser to his respondent. Little did he know, this one problem would be one of the most controversial problems to ever exist! What is this problem that stumped most of the world? Let’s say you are on a game show. You are given the choice of three doors: 1, 2, and 3. Behind one door is a brand new car and behind the other two are goats. Your goal is to attempt to choose the door leading to the new car....

Who said math was only for those engineering and stem-based minds? Math can be applied to any profession, and its need for innovation and expressiveness makes it perfect for poets! What is the connection between math and poetry? The tie between these two subjects goes back several centuries. In fact, the numbers and rhythm involved in poetry is what helped many mathematicians develop well known formulas and theorems used today! Sanskrit poetry in particular has been very helpful in math due...
