Tao: Today there are a lot of very tedious types of mathematics that we don’t like doing, so we look for clever ways to get ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

Probability underpins AI, cryptography and statistics. However, as the philosopher Bertrand Russell said, “Probability is the ...

By now, ChatGPT, Claude, and other large language models have accumulated so much human knowledge that they're far from simple answer-generators; they can also express abstract concepts, such as ...

A new study published in Nature has found that X's algorithm—the hidden system or "recipe" that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order—shifts users' political opinions in a more ...

One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.

Deep within the source code of this online multiplayer game lies an enigmatic number that puzzles and inspires experts to this day ...

Abstract: The Elevator Dispatch Problem (EDP), a classical conundrum in computer optimization, continues to evolve with algorithmic iterations. In this study, leveraging the fuzzy neural network (FNN) ...

By explicitly modeling each step of a problem and gradually fading away supports, teachers can give students a clear path to mastering new content.

The team used an AI method known as equation discovery to develop a model to simulate the interactions between small eddies—circular, vortex-like currents—and large-scale ones. These interactions are ...

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.
