The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. But recent progress in quantum error correction has ...

As AI systems began acing traditional tests, researchers realized those benchmarks were no longer tough enough. In response, ...

In Mathematics, there are no shortcuts to understanding, but there are definitely smarter paths to scoring well.

A few wins would go a long way to make the Nuggets’ wait to be whole more bearable, but they won’t come easily. After a 1-2 start following the All-Star break, Denver begins a challenging week against ...

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 ...

The Hardest Math Problem Contest is an annual competition that challenges students in grades 6-8 to solve multistep, grade-appropriate math problems with real-world situations and engaging characters.

Working memory is critical for tackling difficult math problems, but it is finite and can be overburdened quickly, making it hard for students to parse out details and steps when working through ...

Almost all of us remember a girl who was “good at math” in school. Curious, persistent, she solved problems quickly, asked smart questions, and earned top grades without much effort. Yet today, we ...

Researchers used algebra and geometry together to solve an old random walk problem. Random walk ideas have informed everything from biology to video games. This team identified a key geometry idea ...

The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians. That is the immediate takeaway from the “First Proof” challenge—perhaps the most robust test yet of the ...

One idle evening last October, Mehtaab Sawhney took up an old pastime. He began perusing the website erdosproblems.com, an updated record of the 1,179 conjectures left behind by the eccentric and ...
