People who talk to themselves out loud may not be losing their minds — they may be using a cognitive strategy that increases problem-solving ability by up to 30% and reveals a specific type of ...

Why it matters: Linear algebra underpins machine learning, enabling efficient data representation, transformation, and optimization for algorithms like regression, PCA, and neural networks. Python ...

Diophantus of Alexandria revolutionized algebra with Arithmetica, pioneering symbolic notation and abstract number theory.

Large language models are advancing in solving complex physics problems, from symbolic reasoning to multi-step quantum calculations. New research shows their ability to handle intricate derivations ...

More than 1,200 years ago, in the intellectual heart of Abbasid Baghdad, a Persian scholar quietly reshaped how humans ...

Liam Price just cracked a 60-year-old problem that world-class mathematicians have tried and failed to solve. He’s 23 years old and has no advanced mathematics training. What he does have is a ChatGPT ...

Leaders often fall into the ‘fixer trap,’ solving problems instead of developing their teams. This piece shows how stepping back builds independent thinkers, strengthens trust and scales leadership ...

The brain is an extremely heterogeneous tissue. Within one small piece, there are neurons transmitting information, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes acting as support cells and microglia functioning as ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

Systems like OpenAI’s GPT-5 are accelerating research in math, biology and chemistry. But there is a debate over whether it can do that work on its own. Credit...Agnes Jonas Supported by By Cade Metz ...
