But, both of these would require large structural changes for a course that teaches hundreds of students a year — something that can’t really happen in the near term. What could happen now, though, is ...

While snakes and ladders is purely a game of chance, there is a way to add some strategy, says mathematician Peter Rowlett ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex mathematical problems that underpin scientific and engineering challenges.

“Mathematics is the art of reducing any problem to linear algebra.” This is a quote often attributed to William Stein, a former mathematics professor at the University of Washington, now the lead ...

Three years since Harvard introduced double concentrations, the number of students pursuing them has nearly doubled. In the 2022-23 academic year, there were 525 students pursuing double ...

Terence Tao, one of the world’s foremost mathematicians, who is often called the “Mozart of Math,” would rather not talk politics. “I do scientific research,” Tao said. “I vote, I sign a petition, but ...

Mathematics is one of the oldest disciplines of study. For all its antiquity, however, it is a modern, rapidly growing field. Only 70 years ago, mathematics might have been said to consist of algebra, ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Breakthroughs in pure mathematics can take decades. A new Defense Department initiative aims to speed things up using artificial intelligence. By Alexander Nazaryan Artificial intelligence can write a ...

Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences will phase out its concurrent master’s degree program in Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, and Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering.

It’s a question that high school and middle school math teachers have heard many times. Some educators think it’s because math instruction is stuck in a rut. Procedural, boring and, in some cases, ...
