Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help ...

Discrete mathematics is about precision in reasoning as much as it is about solving problems. Proof techniques like induction, contradiction, and direct reasoning are used to establish results in ...

Her students can, for the most part, understand the concepts she’s trying to teach. They can memorize and use the Pythagorean ...

An EdWeek Research Center survey finds that educators see older students' lack of progress in the subject as an acute problem ...

Ultrafinitism, a philosophy that rejects the infinite, has long been dismissed as mathematical heresy. But it is also ...

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is so widely accepted that modern mathematicians hardly think about it. But believing in its core ...

MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab has released a massive, public collection of proof-based math problems ...

UC Berkeley professor Satish Rao said his decision to run stems from growing frustration working in public education and ...

“Everyone learns many mathematical operations in school: fractions, roots, logarithms, and trigonometric functions […] each with its own rules and a dedicated button on a scientific calculator,” notes ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new discrete StarFish Optimization Algorithm (D-SFOA) to solve a complex discrete Symmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (STSP). The discrete SFOA algorithm is ...

It’s the same math that explains how, under the right conditions, the atmosphere above a barren plain can produce a roiling tornado. Merle has had enormous success taming these blowups in the ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...
