MATH IS POWER. On Thursday, March 12th, join us for the film, Counted Out: Math is Power. Through an unexpected lens: math, the cinematic work investigates the biggest crises of our time—political ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

After a few years of relatively stagnant viewership in and around the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Super Bowl has reclaimed its status as a perennially record-setting television event. The 2025 ...

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 ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mike Kenny didn’t intend to create an educational web app — he was just looking for a way to help students master their multiplication tables. In 2013, as a graduate student in the Vermont Mathematics ...
