America’s Math Crisis

We teach the wrong math and test it the wrong way. We devote thousands of hours to the obsolete rote math that pervades our high-stakes exams—math ...
MIT engineers have created an ultrasonic device that rapidly frees water from materials designed to absorb moisture from the air. Instead of waiting hours for heat to evaporate the trapped water, the ...
OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...
Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font ...
For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...
Ambitious research is on the chopping block following yet more cuts at the National Science Foundation. This past week delivered another gut punch for science in the US. This time, the target was the ...
A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...
The Michigan Tech Data Science BS program delivers a broad-based education in data science fundamentals, data mining, ...
