Pamela Weber Harris , a former high school math teacher contends in a new volume, Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding ...

For centuries, prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians, from ancient artifacts to modern tech. Now, cloud computing and ...

Just in time for Friday's $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot, I was contacted by something called Lotto N Crowd that says its proprietary algorithm can help customers pick winning numbers.

Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve AI system breaks a 56-year-old mathematical record by discovering a more efficient matrix ...

For Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio, you can find one practical answer in search algorithms. It's fairly common to have to find the maximum or minimum of a mathematical function f(x) between ...

These cryptography algorithms compute numbers called hashes that can be used as unique IDs for any kind of data. DeepMind estimates that its new algorithms are now being used trillions of times a day.

But an algorithm he developed in the mid-1990s threatened to do just that. In a landmark paper, Shor showed how a hypothetical computer that exploited the quirks of quantum physics could break large ...

A pair of researchers have found a more efficient way to multiply grids of numbers, beating a record set just a week ago by the artificial intelligence firm DeepMind. The company revealed on 5 ...
