Abstract: We propose an efficient quantum subroutine for matrix multiplication that computes a state vector encoding the entries of the product of two matrices in superposition. The subroutine ...

MIT researchers have designed silicon structures that can perform calculations in an electronic device using excess heat instead of electricity. These tiny structures could someday enable more ...

These days, large language models can handle increasingly complex tasks, writing complex code and engaging in sophisticated reasoning. But when it comes to four-digit multiplication, a task taught in ...

Learn the foundations of calculus using simple math concepts that are easy to understand, even if you’re new to the subject. This guide breaks down limits, derivatives, and basic integrals using clear ...

What’s the difference between a GPU and a TPU? It’s a wonkish question, to be sure, but one that has a lot of interesting applications to the AI arms race, where companies are trying to be the go-to ...

Life gets busy, and sometimes those basic math skills from school days get a little rusty. Whether you're budgeting, measuring for a DIY project, or just having a math-related brain teaser thrown your ...

For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards ...

UC San Diego says it’s struggling to deal with a large and growing number of freshmen whose math skills are below middle-school level, leaving many unprepared to thrive at an institution famed for its ...

Mike Kenny didn’t intend to create an educational web app — he was just looking for a way to help students master their multiplication tables. In 2013, as a graduate student in the Vermont Mathematics ...

A decade-long slide in high schoolers’ reading and math performance persisted during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 12th graders’ scores dropping to their lowest level in more than 20 years, according to ...
