Physicists hope that understanding the churning region near singularities might help them reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics.

Researchers discovered that our ability to recognize trees in art is linked to a mathematical principle called the branch diameter scaling exponent. This pattern, found in real trees, appears across artistic styles and cultures, allowing even abstract depictions to remain recognizable. While arti

The awards honor early career researchers who have demonstrated innovation and creativity

Here is a rough approximation of float multiplication (source): float rough_float_multiply(float a, float b) { constexpr uint32_t bias = 0x3f76d000; return bit_cast(bit_cast

Learn how chimps learn and why this could help us understand how humans built up their skillsets.

Researchers have succeeded in developing a technique to quickly search for the optimal quantum gate sequence for a quantum computer using a probabilistic method.

MIT professors Roger Levy, Tracy Slatyer, and Martin Wainwright won 2024 Guggenheim Fellowships in neuroscience, physics, and data science. Guggenheim Fellows are awarded monetary stipend to pursue independent work and research.

Avi Wigderson helped prove that randomness is not required for efficient computation.

Modeling population growth as sublinear instead of logistic predicts that ecological stability increases with diversity.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Compositional Generation with Energy-Based Diffusion Models and MCMC

His deadly road from Harvard to a Montana shack to a federal prison.

I was recently asked why it takes a seemingly long time to introduce new parts to the racecar as part of an aerodynamics upgrade package during the season. After all, F1 boasts of pushing design an…

René Descartes was a French philosopher whose work, La géométrie, includes his application of algebra to geometry from which we now have Cartesian geometry. His work had a great influence on both mathematicians and philosophers.

Most commodity processors support single-precision IEEE 754 floating-point numbers. Though they are ubiquitous, they are often misunderstood. One of my readers left a comment suggesting that picking an integer in [0,232) at random and dividing it by 232, was equivalent to picking a number at random in [0,1). I am not assuming that the reader … Continue reading How many floating-point numbers are in the interval…
