Nakuru teacher targets world record with 45-hour mathematics lesson

Fenwick Maloba, a mathematics teacher at Menengai High School in Nakuru, is set to teach a continuous 45-hour mathematics lesson to break the world record. The attempt is scheduled to begin on Friday, January 30, at 2 a.m., aiming to boost student interest in the subject. Maloba believes this will challenge the long-held view that mathematics is difficult.

Ramanujan's century-old pi formulas connect to modern physics

11 dicembre 2025 Riportato dall'IA

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru have linked Srinivasa Ramanujan's over-a-century-old formulas for pi to contemporary physics, including turbulent fluids and the universe's expansion. Their work, published in Physical Review Letters, reveals unexpected bridges between Ramanujan's intuitive mathematics and conformal field theories. This discovery highlights how pure math can mirror real-world physical phenomena.
