Many students appear to be completing assignments faster while learning less from them. This conclusion comes from one of the largest studies of how generative AI is changing student behavior and ...

As summer approaches, you may be craving more time in nature. It’s no surprise, considering the positive impact nature has on our wellbeing. This also applies to young children. Research shows that ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

In this video, we provide essential "math help" by explaining how to "solve" for the zeros of a "polynomial functions". This "math tutorial" demonstrates setting the equation to zero and using ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

A recent announcement that an artificial intelligence model succeeded in solving a decades-old mathematical problem that had eluded generations of accomplished mathematicians was widely portrayed as ...

On May 19 during Fortune’s Workforce Innovation Summit, Breslow shared the reason behind the layoffs—and why he decided to cut Bolt’s HR team entirely. “We had an HR team, and that HR team was ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Forget about the $25 billion. That’s the estimate the Pentagon has tentatively picked for the direct cost of the Iran conflict, a sum that analysts consider laughably lowballed. The true expense of ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...

Imagine the following situation: You’re on your way to a party with your significant other. You make an innocent comment questioning why you’re going in the first place. Suddenly, your partner snaps ...
