Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

Are two sets of data genuinely different, or is it because of randomness? This question, known as the two-sample testing problem, becomes notoriously difficult in modern datasets, because they are ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

Critics of artificial intelligence caution that, as a relatively new technology, its long-term effects on the human brain are still unknown. But a new study shows that AI could be dangerous even in ...

Liam Price just cracked a 60-year-old problem that world-class mathematicians have tried and failed to solve. He’s 23 years old and has no advanced mathematics training. What he does have is a ChatGPT ...

When Americans think about the nation’s substance use crisis, opioids, fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine dominate the conversation. But the substance causing the greatest harm is not illicit. It ...

Tens of thousands of shoppers are reporting widespread problems using Amazon’s website, according to reports from outage tracker Downdetector. As of 3:45 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 5, reports of ...

Abstract: In this work, we extend the simplex algorithm of linear programming for finding a local minimum of a concave quadratic function subject to box constraints. In order to test the performance ...

Abstract: The Nelder-Mead simplex method is a well-known algorithm enabling the minimization of functions that are not available in closed-form and that need not be differentiable or convex.

All spark plugs may look the same to the untrained eye. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. For starters, spark plugs come in many types that are mainly differentiated by the ...

Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...
