New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best Routes | Quanta Magazine A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

Computer scientists just broke a 40-year speed limit for finding the best routes! That means your apps could get way better at helping you get to work, the gym, or anywhere faster! The sorting barrier is broken.

Math Science History with Gabrielle Birchak: FLASHCARDS: Gerrymandering and the Math Behind the Maps 🔎 Episode Overview In this episode of Math, Science, History, we explore one of the most quietly powerful forces in American democracy: gerrymandering. From its origin over 200 years ago to its impac...

Since gerrymandering is such a hot topic these days, we thought we would share a recent podcast that we did on gerrymandering. We are all very curious to see how this goes, how long it goes for, and if it could backfire! What are your thoughts?

A blue-and-gold periodic surface against a beige-blue gradient background. Two intertwining helicoid-like halves meet in the middle along the real sine graph as a bright green curve. Mathematically, the surface comprises an infinite sequence of sheets, each a branch of arcsine on the complex plane with two slits. Each sheet is cross-attached to its downward neighbor along the one slit and cross-attached to its upward neighbor along the other slit.

The complex "graph" of arcsin comprises an infinite stack of doubly-slit planes cross-joined one to the next. The real arcsin graph bisects.

If an integer-marked marble is ever in the bag, it is removed from the bag some time before noon.

This is an example of a sequence of sets which converge to the empty set but whose cardinalities diverge!

Student Solves a Long-Standing Problem About the Limits of Addition A new proof illuminates the hidden patterns that emerge when addition becomes impossible.

A grad student just solved a decades-old puzzle in number theory—showing that even addition has its limits. A fresh perspective and some clever math reshaped what we thought we knew.
