Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...

Nearly 200 years ago, the physicists Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes put the finishing touches on a set of equations that describe how fluids swirl. And for nearly 200 years, the ...

A single English verb carries more definitions than any other in the language. Lexicographers have confirmed that the word 'Run' holds 645 distinct meanings in the Oxford English Dictionary’s upcoming ...

Abstract: In this paper we describe a class of cryptographic guess-and-determine attacks which is based on the notion of a linearizing set. A linearizing set-based ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Quadratic equations are polynomials that include an x², and teachers use them to teach students to find two solutions at once. The ...

What really happens after you hit enter on that AI prompt? WSJ’s Joanna Stern heads inside a data center to trace the journey and then grills up some steaks to show just how much energy it takes to ...

There is little debate that AI will revolutionize working practices, but there is less agreement about the best way to exploit this transformation. While 90% of CIOs are piloting AI or investing in ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...
