A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa student-led team has developed a new algorithm to help scientists determine direction in ...

Provided content. One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

With short-form video now dominant on social media, researchers are racing to understand how the highly engaging, algorithm-driven format may be reshaping the brain. From TikTok to Instagram Reels and ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

When news emerged that mathematics would no longer be compulsory for Arts and Humanities students seeking university admission in Nigeria, my initial reaction wasn’t outrage. It was bewilderment. Not ...

The numbers did not compute. Even before Terry Rozier dropped out of the 2023 NBA game in which he's accused of rigging his statistics, computers at an "integrity monitor" firm flagged a flood of bets ...

In my long quest of figuring out ways to not use my time wisely and to be a financial failure, I have found another step to achieving that goal. You see, as a person that loves television and movies, ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

If you’ve ever shuffled a deck of playing cards, you’ve most likely created a unique deck. That is, you’re probably the only person who has ever arranged the cards in precisely that order. Although ...
