Last week I wrote about the birthday of the world’s first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace. Before she came up with the world’s first computer program (conceptually, at least), Lovelace was an ...

Last year, I started writing about my experiences taking courses on machine learning and artificial intelligence. One of the big, unexpected problems I ran into was calculus and linear algebra. I've ...

From writing essays to coding, there’s seemingly nothing modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot cannot accomplish. But even though they seem limitless on the surface, they’re certainly ...

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

Chatbots like ChatGPT get stuff wrong. But researchers are building new A.I. systems that can verify their own math — and maybe more. By Cade Metz Reporting from San Francisco On a recent afternoon, ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...

If you are interested in learning about the easiest math problems that look hard, then you have come to the right place. Many people consider mathematics to be tough, and if you are one of them, then ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...
