How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

Physicists have built a real-number version of quantum mechanics that makes all the same predictions as the standard theory, resolving a question that's simmered since the field began.

Dylan Kane likes his math curriculum. But there’s one important piece missing, he says. The 7th grade math teacher in Leadville, Colo., uses a program that teaches math skills through real-world ...

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) may have planted the seeds for the ongoing fervour over AI, but agentic AI is the true breakthrough that will revolutionise enterprise data pipelines and ...

What do Botox, rat poison, weight-loss drugs and a fictional murder investigation have in common? At the University of Nevada ...

Even if you can't control an outcome, you can still help your child or co-worker feel more at ease with uncertainty, just by how you describe a situation.

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 ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Learn how to solve a one step equation. An equation is a statement stating that two values are equal. A one step equation is an equation whose solution can be obtained by performing only one step of ...

As you read this, every atom in your body is desperately trying to tear itself apart. In fact, that goes for every atom, everywhere, since the beginning of time. Thankfully, those efforts have failed.

In this video I will work through 22 different examples of solving two-step equations using a worksheet I created for my students. I will use the properties of equality, inverse operations, and ...

This study presents a novel local meshless approach for solving one-dimensional Fisher’s equation, combining a local scheme, Gaussian radial basis functions (G-RBF), and a collocation technique. The ...
