When artificial intelligence systems began cracking previously unsolved mathematical problems, the academic world faced an unexpected challenge: determining whether the solutions were genuinely novel ...

Staring at a page of derivatives or integrals can feel like trying to read a foreign language. Your professor moves fast, the ...

Post-quantum authentication helps consumer apps stay secure against quantum computing threats with future-proof encryption and identity protection.

But, both of these would require large structural changes for a course that teaches hundreds of students a year — something that can’t really happen in the near term. What could happen now, though, is ...

Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than ...

After years of assigning the kind of homework she had done as a student and observing students’ disengagement with it, a teacher overhauled how she assigns math practice.

AI systems are beginning to produce proof ideas that experts take seriously, even when final acceptance is still pending.

These student-constructed problems foster collaboration, communication, and a sense of ownership over learning.

The Collatz Conjecture is defined by a rule simple enough for a child to follow. No matter what number you start with, the process always appears to end the same way — and it has never been observed ...

Prediction markets entice enterprising nerds to make and lose fortunes by wagering on everything from politics to the weather. Here’s why they’re unstoppable—and only getting more powerful.
