The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...

The University of Wisconsin Department of Mathematics and UW-iSchool partnered with the University Lectures Committee to host mathematician Cathy O’Neil Tuesday evening at the Fluno Center. O’Neil is ...

The PSLQ procedure can be regarded as a jazzed-up version of an integer-relation algorithm dating back more than 2,000 years to the Greek geometer Euclid of Alexandria (365–300 B.C.). The Euclidean ...

Meta's work made headlines and raised a possibility once considered pure fantasy: that AI could soon outperform the world's best mathematicians by cracking math's marquee "unsolvable" problems en ...

Cathy O’Neil believes there is a dark side to numbers. A mathematician by training, she earned her doctorate at Harvard and went on to become a tenure-track professor at Barnard College. In 2007, ...

The history of mathematics is in some ways a study of the human mind and how it has understood the world. That’s because mathematical thought is based on concepts such as number, form, and change, ...
