Gerd Faltings, a number theorist at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany, has won the 2026 Abel Prize, ...

Math I was the focus of last week’s CMS school board meeting, giving us the latest look at progress toward the goal.

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

Gemini Embedding 2 ships cross-modality retrieval with Matryoshka vectors, offering flexible dimensions for cost and accuracy tradeoffs.

Google Gemini Embedding 2 unifies text, images, audio, PDFs, and video; it supports 3,072-dimension vectors, simplifying retrieval stacks.

The speed at which artificial intelligence is gaining in mathematical ability has taken many by surprise. It is rewriting what it means to be a mathematician ...

This piece comes from a realization I never wanted to earn. My brother passed away last week. For many years, he was my second father. My safe zone. My rock. The person I leaned on when the world felt ...

Mathematics is often described as pure, uniform, and abstract. This characterization holds true for pure mathematics, which deals with axioms, postulates, and theorems. However, questions arise ...
