David E. Dunning explores how mathematical notation is a social, world-building technology. It’s natural to think of math as being fundamentally abstract. Whether it’s invented or discovered, its ...

In March 2025, mathematician Daniel Litt made a bet. Despite the march of progress of artificial intelligence in many fields, he believed his subject was safe, wagering with a colleague that there was ...

Below, Tom Griffiths shares five key insights from his new book, The Laws of Thought: The Quest for a Mathematical Theory of the Mind. Griffiths is a professor of psychology and computer science at ...

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, ...

You’ve locked in on your weight loss goals, consistently cut back on calories, and made time for daily workouts. Yet after initially losing a couple of pounds, you just can’t get that number on the ...

You’d be surprised how many young people can’t read this. One of its conclusions tells the sad tale. “Between 2020 and 2025, the number of students whose math skills fall below high school level has ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

Hallucination is fundamental to how transformer-based language models work. In fact, it’s their greatest asset: this is the method by which language models find links between sometimes disparate ...

"We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity," says Dr. Faizal. "Therefore, no physically complete and ...
