For more than two millennia, mathematicians have produced a growing heap of pi equations in their ongoing search for methods to calculate pi faster and faster. The pile of equatio ...

Erdos, explores what researchers call autoformalization, the process of converting traditional mathematical proofs into formats machines can verify using tools such as Lean and Coq.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

When news emerged that mathematics would no longer be compulsory for Arts and Humanities students seeking university admission in Nigeria, my initial reaction wasn’t outrage. It was bewilderment. Not ...

Abstract: This paper examines the target localization problem with gain-phase errors, utilizing a uniform linear polarization sensitive array. An algorithm is proposed to address the problem with ...
