A Mathematician with early access to XAI Grok 4.20, found a new Bellman function for one of the problems he had been working ...

All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...

In 1950 Edward Nelson, then a student at the University of Chicago, asked the kind of deceptively simple question that can give mathematicians fits for decades. Imagine, he said, a graph — a ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

There is no avoiding the constant chatter about AI these days. Really, it’s been months. As a math teacher, this struggle over new technology feels oddly familiar. More than 30 years ago, the National ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The Lagrange problem in the calculus of variations exhibits the principle of optimality in a particularly simple form. The binary operation of ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...
