Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...

Mathematicians may have a better way to measure agreement across different datasets. Agreement affects reproducibility, meta-analysis, and prediction to fill in missing data points. We need a more ...

A formula developed by Richard Gott estimates humanity may have between 5,100 and 7.8 million years left based on statistical modeling of past durations. BREAKING: Trump announces death of National ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...

Sept. 9 (UPI) --Google is celebrating the start of the 2025-26 school year with a quadratic equation-themed Doodle. The mathematical formula has useful applications across physics, engineering and ...

Synthetic sensors are sensor extensions that provide capabilities beyond the base sensors or create new sensors with formula-based calculations. They provide a new state value by applying mathematical ...

This article digs into the ChatGPT conversation history of a 47-year-old Canadian man who was told by the bot that he’d “discovered a novel mathematical formula” that could take down the internet and ...

Ever wondered how social media platforms decide how to fill our feeds? They use algorithms, of course, but how do these algorithms work? A series of corporate leaks over the past few years provides a ...

Supply chains consist of imperfect humans struggling to make perfect decisions. In the end, though, it all comes down to a game of numbers. That, at least, is the theory behind mathematical ...
