With a newly discovered mathematical tool, researchers are hoping to gain unprecedented insight into the structure of complex ...
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that giving high school students ...
It’s not often a math paper goes viral, but a new preprint from a theoretical physicist at Poland’s Jagiellonian University ...
A dispute over how to divvy up the pot in an interrupted game of chance led early mathematicians to invent modern risk ...
A.I. has always been compared to human intelligence, but that may not be the right way to think about it. What it does well ...
The painstaking process of formalization to verify proofs is starting to surge thanks to AI. That could radically change the ...
Researchers tested a research-based intervention with English learners with math difficulty. The intervention proved to boost comprehension and help students synthesize and visualize information, ...
In ancient Greece, Euclid showed that if you agree on a small list of preliminary principles, or axioms, you can use deductive reasoning to reveal all sorts of new mathematical truths. But although ...
Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...
Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. In 1997, Deep Blue, a supercomputer built by IBM, did the unexpected: it defeated chess ...
