Hundreds of University of California professors are urging the system to reinstate the SAT or ACT requirement for STEM majors by 2027, saying that the test-optional policy has created a widening preparation gap that threatens the value of UC science,…

Math.random() is a PRNG, not a CSPRNG. An attacker who observes a few outputs can predict every future call. I found this exact pattern generating API keys in a 44K-star open-source codebase. Here is why it matters and the ESLint rule that catches it.

I am an undergrad and a huge algebra nut, but to be honest I also love analysis. Not just "soft analysis" mind you, but "hard analysis" (for those unfamiliar with the terms).…

The Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly excel at mathematical reasoning, but their unreliability limits their utility in mathematics research. A mitigation is using LLMs to generate formal proofs in languages like Lean.…

(Part 2 after months) Odd question once again, I asked my discomfort about coordinate systems before but I just can't seem to be able to do this, in any form of continuous mathematics (especially differential geometry).…

This recurring thread will be for general discussion on whatever math-related topics you have been or will be working on this week. This can be anything, including: * math-related arts and crafts, * what you've been learning in class, * books/papers…

The Markov property for a stochastic process X(t) essentially tells you that knowing the value of the process at a time s ≤ t is just as good as knowing the entire history of the process up to time s for making predictions about X(t).…

I'm looking to buy a couple books on measure theory and am eyeing Axler's MIRA and a cheap copy of Halmos' Measure Theory. I know it's quite old but I enjoyed his Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces and I like having an older coverage of the material along…

For all of the notable unsolved problems I'm familiar with, most mathematicians seem to generally agree that one outcome is more likely than the other.…

Does anyone here know a good way to come up with good mathematical conjectures that are likely true? I don't have too much experience with this myself, but I know that some mathematicians are experts at this.…

Benford's law is a well known empirical statistical law that states that smaller leading digits of numerical data are more common than larger leading digits.…

https://www.shawprize.org/en/prizes-laureates/mathematical-sciences/year-of-laureates/2026-mathematical-sciences "for their breakthrough contributions to the use of deep techniques from mathematical analysis to rigorously understand applied problems in…

Hi everyone So this year I’m starting my masters degree with a strong focus on geometry and GR. Since I’m transitioning from CS + Maths degree to just a Maths masters, I didn’t take any pure maths classes such as real analysis, topology and group theory.…

I have a habit of saving interesting things that I find on the internet in my browser bookmarks. Or on Reddit specifically, on the "saved" page of my profile. I have been on this sub for a few years now and saved a lot of great comments.…

A roulette puzzle. There's a roulette wheel with two outcomes: "reincarnate" (you escape) or "stay trapped in purgatory" (you stay another year, and then must spin again). You're forced to spin at least once.…

For example, combinatorics, even in 2026, is still recognizably about counting stuff, just like when the field first got started centuries ago, arguably in ancient Greece.…

This recurring thread is meant for users to share cool recently discovered facts, observations, proofs or concepts which that might not warrant their own threads.…

I've been learning algebraic geometry mainly from the Gathmann notes, Ueno's little book, and Goertz and Wedhorn's first volume (both called Algebraic Geometry 1), using Gathmann to develop intuition about varieties and how they translate to schemes, Ueno…
