Yet, to perform that motion, your brain is solving a massive physics problem in milliseconds. It is processing the same kind of complex math that typically demands a warehouse-sized supercomputer.

Ramsey problems, such as r(4,5) are simple to state, but as shown in this graph, the possible solutions are nearly endless, making them very difficult to solve. We’ve all been there: staring at a math ...

Two breakthroughs in mathematics could reshape how researchers understand symmetries in nature and the behavior of complex systems. These advances, led by Pham Tiep, a professor at Rutgers University, ...

A famous math problem that has vexed mathematicians for decades has met an elegant solution by Cornell University researchers. Graduate student Yash Lodha, working with Justin Moore, professor of ...
