“We had to control how big a number shows up as we do this guessing and coordination,” said Peng. Peng and Vempala prove that their algorithm can solve any sparse linear system in n 2.332 steps. This ...

Scientists have trained a computer algorithm to complete a nearly century-old math problem in a mere half hour. Keller’s conjecture, a tessellation problem about the way certain shapes tile in ...

A student works a problem in a second grade math class at Place Bridge Academy, May 20, 2025, in Denver. Early experiences with math can shape whether a student decides they're a "math person" or not.

This article was originally published with the title “ Warp-Speed Algebra: New Algorithm Does Algebra in a Snap ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 302 No. 1 (January 2010) doi:10.1038 ...

Can math solve the congressional districting problem? Published: August 3, 2015 6:19am EDT. Kevin Knudson, ... for example, but the algorithm might not make that happen.

Seeking to solve the answer to life, the universe, and everything given with the help of Google Deep Thought as 42 and then double-checking that I had the right question (spoiler: it’s six times ...

And thus far, no algorithm to efficiently solve the clique problem has been discovered. Or, for that matter, to solve any of its NP-complete siblings, which is why most people do think that P ≠ NP.

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

For 40 years, an algorithm has been sought to provide an optimal solution to this problem. Now, computer scientist have come up with a recipe. Skip to main content ...

For example, the answer to the cubed root of seven, 3√7 = 1.9129118... extends forever. So although 3√7 "exists" in this formula, this infinite, never-ending decimal is being mischaracterized ...
