In 1960, three scientists published a paper in Science that calculated, with deliberate provocation, that the human ...

In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

AI solved a math problem that stumped experts for 80 years, revealing deeper lessons about human cognition, focus, and ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

For decades, one of mathematics' most famous unsolved puzzles resisted the efforts of researchers around the world.

The model unmasks a severe structural asymmetry in decision-making: setting an ambition threshold too high is far costlier to personal or professional performance than setting it too low by an ...

Two Leiden researchers have demonstrated how mathematics can improve our health care. Daniel Gomon has developed a model that contributes to the quality of care in hospitals. Marta Spreafico works on ...

Mathematical models have become an integral part of cancer biology. They are useful tools for deriving a mechanistic understanding of dynamic processes in cancer. The somatic evolutionary process, ...

Researchers formulated a mathematical equation that unifies 12,000 years of human population growth and points to an alarming ...
