A University of Houston researcher and his collaborators have developed a mathematical model that helps identify whether a ...

​For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees.

As organizations increasingly rely on algorithms to rank candidates for jobs, university spots, and financial services, a new ...

David E. Dunning explores how mathematical notation is a social, world-building technology. It’s natural to think of math as being fundamentally abstract. Whether it’s invented or discovered, its ...

👉 Learn about the limit of a function. The limit of a function as the input variable of the function tends to a number/value is the number/value which the function approaches at that time. The limit ...

Last December, several members of a national organization for math education leaders came together to issue a warning. A growing movement in the field, they claimed, was calling on schools to adopt an ...

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 ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...
