For many of us, high-level math classes can be confusing. "I find math hard for me, which kind of makes me somewhat dislike it," said Sophia Cox, a student at Uplift Williams School in Dallas. To help ...

Many students in elementary grades struggle to grasp the perennially vexing concept of fractions. If those struggles persist into middle school, it can undermine their ability to master more complex ...

The second studio album from the biggest girl group in K-Pop is available now on Complex in multiple editions. The 15 Best K-Pop and Rap Collaborations of All Time From Jennie's electrifying duet with ...

Researchers at Stanford and Caltech have found some critical reasoning failures in advanced AI models. LLMs are great at recognizing patterns, but they have trouble with basic logic, social reasoning, ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Do you stare at a math word problem and feel completely stuck? You're not alone. These problems mix reading comprehension with complex math concepts, making them a common hurdle for students. The good ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

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 ...
