AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...

Master inclined plane problems using the work-energy method in this detailed physics lesson! This video demonstrates how to apply the principles of work and energy to calculate velocities, forces, and ...

Abstract: A new solution strategy, utilizing ramp functions, is proposed for solving LP problems arising in Model Predictive Control. The solution strategy can take a general LP formulation, and ...

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 ...

Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

Where Winds Meet players are taking a novel approach to solving riddles by… simply telling the game's AI-powered chatbot NPCs that they have solved the game's riddles. The Wuxia open-world ...

AI is often described as a gamechanger in health care. But the real challenge isn’t just adopting the technology—it’s choosing the right problems to solve. Many early AI pilots in health care focused ...

The same AI that aced the genius test can't count how many times the letter "R" appears in "strawberry." OpenAI's o3 just cleared artificial general intelligence (AGI) benchmarks. Eighty-seven percent ...

The New York State Education Department is pushing new math guidelines, including a recommendation that teachers stop giving timed quizzes — because it stresses students out. The new guidelines also ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...
