Provided content. One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.
More than 900 students at UC San Diego needed catch-up math classes in the fall of 2025 compared to 32 five years earlier.
George Pólya’s random walk theorem absolved him of being a lurker and revealed how the laws of chance interact with physical ...
The New York State Education Department is pushing new math guidelines, including a recommendation that teachers stop giving timed quizzes — because it stresses students out. The new guidelines also ...
In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...
Reflection AI, a startup founded just last year by two former Google DeepMind researchers, has raised $2 billion at an $8 billion valuation, a whopping 15x leap from its $545 million valuation just ...
Large language models have made impressive strides in mathematical reasoning by extending their Chain-of-Thought (CoT) processes—essentially “thinking longer” through more detailed reasoning steps.
New research by University at Buffalo and University of Colorado Boulder mathematicians has uncovered and characterized novel two-dimensional wave patterns — waves that propagate along two directions ...
