Take the pressure off of problem solving with engaging thinking games that encourage students to work together to find solutions. Like many teachers, I used to think of problem-solving as something I ...

Abstract: This article presents a review of the historical development of mathematical maintenance theory, with a specific emphasis on exploring various inspection–maintenance and replacement policies ...

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 ...

You’d be surprised how many young people can’t read this. One of its conclusions tells the sad tale. “Between 2020 and 2025, the number of students whose math skills fall below high school level has ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

Hallucination is fundamental to how transformer-based language models work. In fact, it’s their greatest asset: this is the method by which language models find links between sometimes disparate ...

The idea that we might be living inside a vast computer simulation, much like in The Matrix, has fascinated philosophers and scientists for years. But a new study from researchers at the University of ...

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically ...

Abstract: The paper is about formalization of Set Theory and Elementary Algebra theorems in mathematics and their proofs in a new programming language called LEAN 4 Theorem Prover. The paper describes ...
