For elementary students, math problem-solving often feels like a puzzle without all the pieces. They know there’s a solution somewhere, but they can’t quite see how it all fits together. Behind every ...

24-year-old founder and CEO Carina Hong created Axiom Math in March 2025 and has recruited a team of ten employees, most of whom are from Meta, to build a math-focused AI model. Last fall, Carina Hong ...

Instead of giving a vector result, the LARS solution consists of a curve denoting the solution for each value of the l1 norm of the parameter vector. not a curve "curve" is not computed at every point ...

MPAX is a hardware-accelerated, differentiable, batchable, and distributable solver for mathematical programming in JAX, designed to integrate with modern computational and deep learning workflows: ...

A troubling math problem that led to a "heated conversation" among one fifth-grader's family has sparked similar debate on social media. Math differs from other subjects in that the answers students ...

This article is part of a series exploring the state of math education in Ohio. Brianna Swain does not remember learning much of anything in school while growing up in Columbus' Hilltop neighborhood.

There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...

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, ...

Quantum computers could soon be able to solve genuinely useful mathematical problems faster than classical computers, claims quantum computing firm Quantinuum. It would be the first example of these ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 2003, a German graduate student named Britta Späth encountered the McKay conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in the ...

Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...
