Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...

Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980's. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the ...

At 21, Ashwin Sah has produced a body of work that senior mathematicians say is nearly unprecedented for a college student. The proof joined a long list of mathematical results that Sah, who turned 21 ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...

In the race toward practical quantum computers and networks, photons—fundamental particles of light—hold intriguing possibilities as fast carriers of information at room temperature. Researchers at ...

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- Now, more than ever, supply chain operators need a tool that helps them predict and understand disruptions and gives them the power to plan accordingly. In the last ...

That's been the general contention of the media, which, as a public service, have explained at some length the basics of fast-growing quantities, such as disease, to hammer home how something like a ...
