Exploring concepts such as observation and measurement in the fresh air can give students a new and playful perspective on ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

An old numerical problem that keeps reappearing in puzzle books as though it had never been analyzed before is the problem of inserting mathematical signs wherever ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

@saxboybilly18 roped me in with a TikTok song about Akron, Ohio last August. I watched it, kept scrolling, and never thought about it again. The video, 45 seconds long and mildly catchy, was more a ...

Abstract: Handwritten mathematical expressions are an essential part of many domains, including education, engineering, and science. The pervasive availability of computationally powerful touch-screen ...

Penn Engineers have developed a new way to use AI to solve inverse partial differential equations (PDEs), a particularly challenging class of mathematical problems with broad implications for ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Abstract: This paper presents exact closed-form expressions for the performance of multiple-input/multiple-output systems employing maximal ratio combining in the ...

Images of plants painted on pottery made up to 8,000 years ago may be the earliest example of humans’ mathematical thought, a study has found. Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem ...
