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 ...

AI systems are beginning to produce proof ideas that experts take seriously, even when final acceptance is still pending.

Print Join the Discussion View in the ACM Digital Library The mathematical reasoning performed by LLMs is fundamentally different from the rule-based symbolic methods in traditional formal reasoning.

Frustrated by the AI industry’s claims of proving math results without offering transparency, a team of leading academics has ...

AxiomProver solved a real open math conjecture using formal verification, signaling a shift from AI that assists research to AI that discovers new truths.

Mathematician Richard Evan Schwartz of Brown University tackled the problem in a recent study by working backward from an existing polyhedral torus to answer questions about what would be needed to ...

It took a series of aviation disasters for safety experts to realize the critical role of working memory when pilots and technicians juggle competing tasks. In some cases, technicians made apparently ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...
