It’s getting tougher to assess how much university students have learnt. In his work as a Mathematical Statistics lecturer, Michael von Maltitz has tried a new way of getting students to learn, and of ...

Did our AI summary help? A research-level mathematics problem that took nearly twenty years to design has been solved by an artificial intelligence system, surprising the mathematician who created it.

Dr. Clayton is a mathematician. Candidates for quantitative jobs — like those on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley — are sometimes asked offbeat questions such as: How many Ping-Pong balls fit in a 747 ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...

Some math problems are designed in ways that reward simplicity rather than analytical depth. Research shows that highly intelligent individuals are more likely to overthink these problems, leading to ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to ...

UC San Diego is trying to solve a math problem. The university said a growing number of students are starting their freshman year lacking high school math proficiency. KPBS reporter Jacob Aere says ...

When it comes to hard problems, computer scientists seem to be stuck. Consider, for example, the notorious problem of finding the shortest round-trip route that passes through every city on a map ...

Konstantinos Mamis, a UW assistant professor of mathematics and statistics, presents at the 13th Annual Integrated Mathematical Oncology Workshop at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla. Mamis was part ...

Hannah Cairo is in the first year of her mathematics graduate program at the University of Maryland. Like her peers, she does research and is a TA on campus. But unlike most Ph.D. students, Cairo is ...
