In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Learning a new skill can be difficult, especially when it’s relatively complex. It’s often hard to keep definitions, concepts, and descriptions straight when you’re trying to make inroads into an area ...

Computer-generated holography (CGH) provides an approach to digitally modulate a given wavefront. This technology, partly inherited from optical holography and partly advanced by the progress of ...

What if the next new mathematical discovery didn’t come from a human mind, but from an AI? Imagine a machine not just crunching numbers but proposing original solutions to problems that have baffled ...

Gurobean, companion to the "Burrito Optimization Game" with 85,000+ plays, introduces advanced concepts like nonlinearity and ...

Edward Rothberg is CEO and Co-Founder of Gurobi Optimization, which produces one of the world’s fastest mathematical optimization solvers. It’s easy to see why many machine learning capabilities—from ...

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

Supply chains consist of imperfect humans struggling to make perfect decisions. In the end, though, it all comes down to a game of numbers. That, at least, is the theory behind mathematical ...
