Big data has gotten too big. Now, a research team with statisticians from Cornell has developed a data representation method inspired by quantum mechanics that handles large data sets more efficiently than traditional methods by […]
In a novel use of statistics, researchers estimate the number of unattributed paintings, known as “sleepers,” by the famous 20th-century Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani to be at between 20 and 120.This article was originally published […]
If you filled out a March Madness bracket this month, you probably faced the same question with each college match-up: What gives one team an edge over another? Is it a team’s record through the […]
American students have been falling behind in math for decades—with test scores that consistently rank in the bottom 25% globally compared to students in other developed countries—and the COVID-19 pandemic made the situation worse.This article […]
Pedestrian crossings generally showcase the best in pedestrian behavior, with people naturally forming orderly lanes as they cross the road, smoothly passing those coming from the opposite direction without any bumps or scrapes. Sometimes, however, […]
A mathematical problem solved by Susanna Heikkilä relates to the classification of quasiregularly elliptic 4-manifolds, asking what four-dimensional shapes can be obtained by deforming four-dimensional Euclidean geometry. The article by Heikkilä and Pekka Pankka has […]
Mathematicians from New York University and the University of British Columbia have resolved a decades-old geometric problem, the Kakeya conjecture in 3D, which studies the shape left behind by a needle moving in multiple directions.This […]
What do albatrosses searching for food, stock market fluctuations, and the dispersal patterns of seeds in the wind have in common?This article was originally published on this website.
Recent data shows boys in years 5 and 9 in England have scored significantly higher than girls in math and science compared with 2019, report UCL researchers who analyzed the latest Trends in International Mathematics […]
How will artificial intelligence affect the distribution of income and wealth this century? After falling through much of the 20th century, income inequality, measured as the fraction of income going to the richest 1% of […]
