The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics makes the argument that teachers, principals, and district leaders must “stay ...

The painstaking process of formalization to verify proofs is starting to surge thanks to AI. That could radically change the ...

One feature Obsidian can’t replicate.

Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. In 1997, Deep Blue, a supercomputer built by IBM, did the unexpected: it defeated chess ...

In ancient Greece, Euclid showed that if you agree on a small list of preliminary principles, or axioms, you can use deductive reasoning to reveal all sorts of new mathematical truths. But although ...

Some readers may solve the problem procedurally: line up the two numbers, add the ones column, carry the one, and add the tens to get 43. Others might instead notice a creative shortcut: 29 + 14 is ...

PAID ADVERTORIAL - That familiar feeling of dread can creep in around 7 p.m. on a school night. Your child slides a worksheet across the table, looks up with hopeful eyes, and asks for help with a ...

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 ...

Let’s keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...

MrBeast shared a clip of a Salesforce Super Bowl ad featuring him on X, telling fans, "First person to solve the puzzle in my new Super Bowl ad wins $1,000,000! Good luck." The about 30-second spot, ...
