An interdisciplinary study co-authored by researchers from the statistics and history departments at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign introduces a novel statistical framework for comparing baseball players across different eras.This article was originally published on […]
Humans beat generative AI models made by Google and OpenAI at a top international mathematics competition, despite the programs reaching gold-level scores for the first time.This article was originally published on this website.
As gun sales in the United States continue to soar, researchers at Georgia State University have uncovered insights into what drives Americans to buy firearms. A new study published in PNAS Nexus journal reveals the […]
A sneeze. Ocean currents. Smoke. What do these have in common? They’re instances of turbulence: unpredictable, chaotic, uneven fluid flows of fluctuating velocity and pressure. Though ubiquitous in nature, these flows remain somewhat of a […]
As a mild-mannered statistics professor, it’s not often that I get contacted directly by the CEO of a multi-million-dollar company, much less regarding allegations of cheating and malfeasance among world champions.This article was originally published […]
Throughout their everyday lives, humans are typically required to make a wide range of decisions, which can impact their well-being, health, social connections, and finances. Understanding the human decision-making processes is a key objective of […]
A London-based dentist may have cracked a centuries-old mathematics puzzle hidden in one of the most famous anatomical drawings in the world—Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. This discovery suggests the iconic image reflects the same […]
A painless, noninvasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how this might be […]
In recent years, with the public availability of AI tools, more people have become aware of how closely the inner workings of artificial intelligence can resemble those of a human brain.This article was originally published […]
The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mildly electrically stimulating these networks can boost learning, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by […]
