A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

Geometric group theory and discrete mathematics intersect in the study of groups through the lens of geometric and combinatorial structures. At its core, geometric group theory probes how algebraic ...

Daniel Glasscock, an assistant professor of mathematics and statistics in the Kennedy College of Sciences, has been interested by Ramsey theory since his master’s degree studies at Central European ...

Lottery tickets purchased repeatedly in the same small Texas town led to four separate wins and nearly $21 million in total payouts. State officials verified each claim, but the streak stood out ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...
