The human played an invaluable role despite not understanding any of the math. Instead, he provided encouragement.

Neurosurgery researcher Jin Shanmu has very little formal education in mathematics but solved a major problem in linear ...

Researchers have developed a new programming technique that can make some calculations on graphics processing units, or GPUs, nearly four times faster by teaching computers to skip calculations that ...

Yoon Auh’s company does “cryptographic logistics,” swapping ciphers on the fly, because nobody can prove quantum-resistant ...

Quantum entanglement is key to solving a 250-year-old mathematical puzzle – and the discovery could ultimately help build quantum computers that are more resilient to errors. In the 1700s, according ...

A research version of Claude boosted the proven share of Riemann zeta function zeros on the critical line from 41.6% to 67.2% in just 1.5 days.

There’s a $1-million prize for proving the Riemann hypothesis. Claude couldn’t pull that off, but it made significant progress on a related problem ...

Acclaimed Pretoria-born mathematician and computer scientist Seymour Papert is best known for his theories of constructionist learning, but he was also a first-generation AI researcher, and one of the ...
