AI Computer Science Artificial intelligence is changing mathematics at remarkable speed, but it is unlikely to make human mathematicians unnecessary. That is the view of Stanford University professor Ravi Vakil, who says powerful new tools bring both exciting opportunities and serious challenges. AI systems can already help researchers explore difficult…

A social robot does not say, “Obey.” It says, in effect, “I know you. This choice is good for you.” The person may then experience the resulting preference as personal. This is dangerous. Research supports this concern: studies…
"In particular, we get insights into Lagrangian turbulence," says Björn Birnir, referencing the theory that describes turbulent behavior in a reference fame that moves with the flow, like a raft on a river. (Credit: Ingolf Zeiner Petersen/Flickr) Mathematicians have derived the formulas for boundary layer turbulence 100 years after the…

The University of Chicago’s Division of the Physical Sciences is launching a PhD program in computational and applied mathematics, part of an expansion into a field at the intersection of big data and scientific discovery. The…
While improvements in computer hardware and high performance computing frameworks continue to provide computational speed increases, efficient mathematical algorithms and skillful coding are essential for solving today's…
Stanford researchers have found that children who consistently struggle with mathematics may have underlying differences in the way their brains manage problem-solving strategies. Children with developmental dyscalculia took longer to switch between strategies, were less responsive to changes in difficulty and found it harder to improve their approaches over time…
Australian students continue to perform above the OECD average across science, reading, and mathematics, in the latest Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Conducted every 3 years since 2000, PISA assesses…
