👉 The Boston Math, also known as the "Boston Group," is a mathematical approach developed by mathematicians at Harvard University in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly by John Conway and Stephen Smale. It is characterized by its use of set theory, combinatorics, and recursive constructions to explore discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Unlike traditional mathematical methods that often rely on analytical techniques, the Boston Math employs a highly combinatorial and constructive style, focusing on building mathematical objects through recursive definitions and finite sets. This approach allows for the exploration of complex structures, such as permutations, graphs, and combinatorial designs, in a way that is both intuitive and rigorous. The Boston Math has had a profound impact on various fields, including graph theory, topology, and theoretical computer science, by providing new tools and perspectives for understanding discrete systems.
