Kharizmi helped solidify the concept of algorithms in mathematics and popularized algebra and the use of the zero.

Abstract: Deterministic processing time are no longer applicable under realistic circumstances because of the uncertainties involved in manufacturing and production processes. The present study aims ...

Penn Engineers have developed an open-source algorithm that combines the speed of AI with the precision of geometry to ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

Solving problems related to planning and operations of large-scale power systems is challenging on classical computers due to their inherent nature as mixed-integer and nonlinear problems. Quantum ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the quest to develop these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. The 21st-century fervor ...

For decades, modernizing enterprise systems has been one of the most expensive and thankless jobs in technology. That calculus is starting to shift. Kabir Nagrecha grew up in the room where enterprise ...
