Peter Badge. Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges between them is notoriously difficult. Today, the Norwegian ...
Gerd Faltings shocked mathematicians around the world for his 1983 proof of the Mordell conjecture, which brought together ...
Over the weekend, user @BholanathDutta shared the equation that looked relatively simple to his thousands of followers, until ...
A new mathematical shortcut has cut the core calculations inside earthquake ground-shaking simulations by about 1,000 times without sacrificing accuracy. That leap in speed could make it far easier ...
Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...
OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 Pro does better at solving sophisticated math problems than older versions of the company’s top large language model, according to a new study by Epoch AI, a non-profit research ...
David Genter began designing math puzzles about 20 years ago, when he worked on diesel engines as an engineer. Genter's puzzles will be printed where space permits in the Daily Press every Tuesday ...
I’ve been out of school for decades, and I don’t spend my days solving equations (I’m more of a word person). Still, I like to think I have a solid grip on basic math: I can usually gauge whether a ...
(THE CONVERSATION) Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to ...
There weren’t calculators or computers in medieval Europe. But there were math duels. Mathematicians would gather in public squares and pose tricky math problems to each other. Then they raced to ...
