When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

When people ask me why I, an applied mathematician, study diabetes, I tell them that I am motivated for both scientific and human reasons. Type 2 diabetes runs in my family. My grandfather died of ...

Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...

Algorithms are increasingly prevalent in everything we do, from getting insurance to applying to jobs (if the algorithm doesn't pick your application from a big pile, good luck). While it may seem ...

Kharizmi helped solidify the concept of algorithms in mathematics and popularized algebra and the use of the zero.
