University of Michigan Prof. Sarah Koch talked about the math behind the classic card game Spot it! in a Wednesday speaker ...

A team of four prominent mathematicians, including two Fields medalists, proved a conjecture described as a “holy grail of additive combinatorics.” Within a month, a loose collaboration verified it ...

After previously discussing permutations, Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses step-by-step examples and full code presentations to explore combinations. A zero-based mathematical (n, k) ...

Eric Swartz: application of group theory to finite structures, such as graphs and finite geometries, and problems related to the combinatorics of finite groups.

Princeton mathematician Noga Alon has received the 2024 Wolf Prize in Mathematics “for pioneering contributions to mathematical cryptography, combinatorics, and the theory of computer science.” He ...

The card game Set has long inspired mathematicians to create interesting problems. Now, a technique based on large language models (LLMs) is showing that artificial intelligence (AI) can help ...
