New research finds girls and women more often use step-by-step algorithms, while boys and men use shortcuts. Accuracy is ...

New research reveals why even state-of-the-art large language models stumble on seemingly easy tasks—and what it takes to fix ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

Meta's work made headlines and raised a possibility once considered pure fantasy: that AI could soon outperform the world's best mathematicians by cracking math's marquee "unsolvable" problems en ...

As language models (LMs) improve at tasks like image generation, trivia questions, and simple math, you might think that ...

Math students may not blink at calculating probabilities, measuring the area beneath curves or evaluating matrices, yet they often find themselves at sea when first confronted with writing proofs. But ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

Abstract: We present a bottom up review of complex numbers through analytical functions commonly used in digital signal processing. Standard practice uses complex exponential functions for engineering ...

Prime numbers are essential for technologies like RSA encryption, which rely on the difficulty of guessing these numerals. A new paper shows that another area of mathematics called integer partition ...

A mathematician has solved a 200-year-old maths problem after figuring out a way to crack higher-degree polynomial equations without using radicals or irrational numbers. The method developed by ...
