Areas of pure math such as algebra, analysis, combinatorics and many others can be used—in some cases combined—to solve the complex math problems arising from applications of math to the real world.

After an OpenAI model presented a possible solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, mathematicians are speculating about which ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

AI just solved one of the world’s hardest math problems.

Two weeks ago, OpenAI claimed a solution to one of the biggest open problems in math —the Navier-Stokes problem, worth a million-dollar prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute. The proof ignited a ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...
