Without any structure, DeepMind had to intuit how to solve new equations solely based on seeing a limited number of completed examples. Challenging existing deep learning algorithms with modular math ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...
