A 50-year mathematical hunt is over after two researchers cracked the 3D Kakeya conjecture, unlocking a result hailed as once-in-a-century. Imagine holding a pencil in the air and rotating it so that ...

Researchers found that some animals could “count” carrots in a test—and may have better numerical skills than dogs or horses. Scientists say the numerical skills displayed by zoo giraffes may help ...

For Spencer Pratt’s supporters, the last four days of the Los Angeles mayoral primary vote-counting and conclusion were like a gut punch delivered in slow motion. On election night, their candidate ...

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 ...
