Read about how mathematicians are dealing with the AI takeover of their field in our feature here. But with the dust still far from settled, a different controversy is emerging: Did OpenAI even solve ...

Mathematicians at OpenAI showed that the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids flow, can sometimes “blow up.” But the massive result is not without controversy. On the morning of Tuesday, ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police announced Tuesday that it is expanding its team-approach to investigating non-fatal shootings. The city piloted the team-based approach two years ago ...

Teach Linear Congruences and Residue Systems with expert-level confidence—even if your degree isn’t in Maths. Eliminate maths-anxiety and immediately reclaim your planning time with this zero-prep ...

Every innovation team now has the same tools: the same foundation models, similar prompt libraries. Yet the results are wildly uneven. Some teams report a creative renaissance while others report a ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

The City of Minneapolis is trying a new approach when it comes to solving and preventing non-deadly shootings. Minneapolis city leaders say the firearm assault shoot team — known as FAST — has already ...

The Buffalo Bills' fanbase is known as Bills Mafia. Dontay Corleone would fit right in with the Bills then, wouldn't he? He's sure got the name. But at the moment, the defensive tackle still hasn't ...

Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. In 1997, Deep Blue, a supercomputer built by IBM, did the unexpected: it defeated chess ...

It is common to think of time as moving in only one direction – from point A, through point B, to point C. However, many Indigenous peoples – including Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...
