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

Grok 4.5 constructed a counterexample proving hypercontractivity fails on the 4-sphere, closing a decades-old gap in ...

Math classrooms shifted over time to the discovery model. Not suddenly, and not without good intentions. There was a ...

I continue to be amazed at the slide in thoughtful policymaking in Indiana. Gov. Mike Braun’s latest incoherent property tax musings — I hesitate to call them a proposal — offer yet one more example.

Or, if you prefer, you can use the "Download Zip" button available through the main repository page. Downloading the project as a .ZIP file will keep the size of the ...

A new benchmark pitting AI against previously unseen maths problems shows that systems still fall short of top human expertise. Artificial intelligence has undergone its most scrupulous maths test yet ...

The planar Hall effect is a tabletop diagnostic tool for special quantum properties useful in basic research and technological applications. Or so it was thought, because careful calculation by Kobe ...

A sweeping investigation has revealed widespread fraud in mathematics publishing, where commercial metrics and rankings have incentivized the mass production of meaningless or flawed papers. The study ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

Global data on math achievement is revealing a dismaying trend: Girls are doing worse than boys — and the margins are huge. Parsing education data into snack-sized servings. In 2023, fourth-grade boys ...

A 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong. Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall. For ...

Abstract: Classical techniques for solving linear inverse problems have been presented. Our aim was to show how these classical techniques are applied in current state-of-the-art imaging systems.
