Computers can be valuable tools for helping mathematicians solve problems but they can also play their own part in the discovery and proof of mathematical theorems. Perhaps the first major result by a ...

(Black_Kira/iStock/Getty Images) Quantum computers already exist and are advancing quickly, but scientists predict there's much, much more to come from them – and a new study points the way to another ...

Math and code go hand in hand. Set yourself up for a successful and fulfilling future with a degree that combines two of the fastest-growing career fields in the world. With a strong foundation in ...

On a recent train trip from Lyon to Paris, Vladimir Voevodsky sat next to Steve Awodey and tried to convince him to change the way he does mathematics. Voevodsky, 48, is a permanent faculty member at ...

In January, the Harvard Business Review shared a study that showed that the average entrepreneur did not study a STEM field while in college. But, that’s totally fine, because we’re privileged with ...

Programmers normally want to minimize the time their code takes to execute. But in 1962, the Hungarian mathematician Tibor Radó posed the opposite problem. He asked: How long can a simple computer ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Quantum computing is a lot to wrap your mind around. To put things very simply (as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did recently, with surprising eloquence) regular computers are made up of bits ...

At the end of the forum yesterday afternoon, the mathematics laureates took questions from the audience. One of the questions was about the role of computers in checking and generating proofs. At the ...

For mathematicians and computer scientists, 2020 was full of discipline-spanning discoveries and celebrations of creativity. Several long-standing problems yielded to sustained collaboration, ...
