Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

“We want to show pre-service math teachers that data science isn’t a separate universe from the math they already study. It's built on it,” said Eric Weber, professor and chair of mathematics at Iowa ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

Hyundai wasn’t ready for its own success, creating a massive service nightmare. Now, the automaker is rolling out mobile repair vans to your driveway to fix it. Hyundai's rapid sales growth severely ...
