A research team from northwestern China has released a new algorithm that could fundamentally change how drone swarms hunt and destroy enemy targets. The algorithm, known as HG-STR (Heterogeneous ...

Problem-solving skills are essential in the age of artificial intelligence. Don’t Take Math Education For Granted As the United States celebrates its semiquincentennial, let’s not take for granted our ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Scores on New York’s statewide assessment tests improved in both math and English language arts during the 2024-2025 school year. Statewide, 57% of students tested proficient in math last year, up 3 ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

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 add, starting with ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

When news emerged that mathematics would no longer be compulsory for Arts and Humanities students seeking university admission in Nigeria, my initial reaction wasn’t outrage. It was bewilderment. Not ...
