Researchers cracked a 50-year-old math problem scribbled by Richard Feynman over lunch. The equations show that humans are ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

An experiment with 2,520 participants backs Richard Feynman’s answer to every diner’s dilemma: do I want to try something new ...

When Eric Weber, professor and chair of mathematics at Iowa State University, talks about data science with future math ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

Abstract: This paper combines two planning problems into a single planning problem and numerically shows the benefits of their combination. Specifically, we combine the optimal transmission expansion ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel prize winner—that first posed the problem didn't believe it would ever be ...

Math exam questions should not try too hard to appear "realistic" by adding everyday-life stories, because students would simply strip away the context and convert them into familiar formulas to solve ...

Abstract: Distributed measurement system (DMS) has shown great potential in pose measurement for the mobile target. One essential problem encountered in global measurement with DMS is that the ...

It’s not often a math paper goes viral, but a new preprint from a theoretical physicist at Poland’s Jagiellonian University has well and truly bucked the trend. Why? Because it seems to reduce all of ...
