AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas—conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill.

Problems that defeated human mathematicians for decades are now solved, but for whose benefit?

Mathematician Richard Elwes discusses humanity's long-time fascination with ginormous numbers—and what this obsession reveals about us.

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects.…

I've been having an interest in math research particularly how mathematicians solve difficult problems as well as their contributions to various fields to expand our understanding on modern mathematics.…

I mostly just don't know enough about the topic to have a firm belief. I just have a thoughtful and considered intuition in one direction. What AI seems to be best at is pattern recognition well beyond human ability, abstraction and the ability to…

Ultrafinitism, a philosophy that rejects the infinite, has long been dismissed as mathematical heresy. But it is also producing new insights in math and beyond.

Has anyone here did Statistics at Adelaide Uni or Aus in general? How was the experience? What are the career paths I could go into? I'm actually interested in analytics, biostatistics, bioinformatics.

The Fields medallist discusses how ever-evolving technology is transforming mathematicians’ work. The Fields medallist discusses how ever-evolving technology is transforming mathematicians’ work.

While professional robotics often use the Jacobian Inverse or Cyclic Coordinate Descent (CCD), these methods are either too "heavy" for an Arduino or produce jerky, unnatural movements.…

With a newly discovered mathematical tool, researchers are hoping to gain unprecedented insight into the structure of complex knots.

Recently, at Akamai, we launched the Akamai Foundation, to continue to reach a broader, more diverse range of young people with quality Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. We believe that this work is a vital part of securing...

While reading this article about the structure of complex knots, I ran across this diagram drawn by scientist Peter Guthrie Tait in 1885 for a paper called On Knots Part III. It’s one of two figur

While northern professions in 1600 did not require lengthy training in mathematics or science, there was popular interest in these topics. England’s first chair in mathematics was endowed by Thomas Gresham,61 who had founded London’s Royal Exchange and…

A 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong. Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall.…

Artificial intelligence is a game changer across many fields these days and mathematics is no exception. Yet, the rapid acceleration of its ability to solve some of arithmetic’s most challenging proofs has left many a mathematician wondering how they fit…

The incompleteness theorem is accepted as part of the mathematical canon today, but columnist Jacob Aron says it was a bombshell when Kurt Gödel first introduced it.…
