A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative technique. Tessellations cover a surface with one or more ...

While math word problems are widely used in classrooms at all grade levels to help put numbers, operations, and equations into context and connect math to the real world, they also increase the ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to ...

When it comes to hard problems, computer scientists seem to be stuck. Consider, for example, the notorious problem of finding the shortest round-trip route that passes through every city on a map ...

A Korean expert says the Upbit breach likely stemmed from a high-level mathematical exploit involving biased nonces. Analysis suggests attackers inferred private keys by detecting subtle randomness ...

An AI chip company’s financial hallucination. The outcome of regulators’ push to break up Meta. What Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon texted about. More food safety rules weakened in the shutdown deal ...

At the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), one competitor did so well that it would have been awarded the Silver Prize, except for one thing: it was an AI system. This was the first time ...

That’s how Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun described the blowback after OpenAI researchers did a victory lap over GPT-5’s supposed math breakthroughs. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis added, ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...
