In engineering classrooms, the disconnect between rigorous mathematical concepts and their practical applications can hinder ...

Mathematics has been one of humanity’s most creative endeavors, akin to painting and poetry. Now, mathematicians are trying to save it from the brute force of AI. “The artists and the musicians have ...

OpenAI beat humans to solving the Navier-Stokes problem, but mathematicians say the AI's solution isn't telling them much.

If you’ve solved the same problem three times, you don’t have a work ethic problem — you have a missing system. Systemization thinking, or systems thinking, is the habit of seeing things as systems ...

Although climate change gets the headlines, we still have the old environmental challenges, such as preserving wildlife and reducing water pollution—the kind of concerns that kicked off Earth Day 1970 ...

Solving problems isn’t an ability everyone has naturally. Personally, I can get frazzled in high-stress situations while others can keep a cool head and comfort people with a calm conversational style ...

This is a story about keeping the faith in a discipline not exactly known for its religiosity: mathematics. The field of arithmetic statistics — the study of statistical patterns in arithmetic objects ...

The company’s announcement is the most dramatic sign yet that artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the field of higher mathematics.

Latin squares are arrangements of symbols in a grid in which every symbol appears exactly once in each row and column. These symbol arrangements, which were first studied more than three centuries ago ...

Linear programming (LP) is among the most fundamental optimization techniques. However, solving LP problems on conventional digital hardware is increasingly constrained by the polynomial computational ...

A conversation with author Anne Morriss on why the slow and steady approach can leave issues unresolved. When it comes to solving complex, layered problems, the default for many organizational leaders ...

German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler set up a famous experiment more than 100 years ago that changed how scientists understand animal intelligence and the power of insight — or spontaneous ...
