Four years ago, Marquies Gray Jr. and his younger brother, Mason, were struggling to solve math problems. Their mother, ...

Researchers have developed a method for comparing quantum algorithms and identifying which quantum problems are the hardest to solve. Predicting the behavior of many interacting quantum particles ...

Turn those people into quantum particles, and you are now facing a "quantum many-body problem." Quantum many-body problems are efforts to predict the behavior of a large number of interacting ...

The researchers started with the GSM8K's standardized set of 8,000 grade-school level mathematics word problems ... And when an AI cannot perform simple math because the words are essentially ...

Students often struggle to connect math with the real world. Word problems—a combination of words, numbers, and mathematical operations—can be a perfect vehicle to take abstract numbers off ...

Fundamental problems about multiplication — about, say, how numbers factor into primes — suddenly become much deeper and more challenging as soon as addition enters the picture. One of math’s biggest ...

A post-mortem review of sorts. I did this for Season 1 as well, and looking over that review I am amazed at how many of the first season’s glaring problems remain alive and well in the sophomore ...
