Marijn Heule turns mathematical statements into something like Sudoku puzzles, then has computers go to work on them. His proofs have been called “disgusting,” but they go beyond what any human can do ...

How much math knowledge do you need for machine learning and deep learning? Some people say not much. Others say a lot. Both are correct, depending on what you want to achieve. There are plenty of ...

Two recent collaborations between mathematicians and DeepMind demonstrate the potential of machine learning to help researchers generate new mathematical conjectures. Mathematicians often work ...

From industrial robots to self-driving cars, engineers face a common problem: keeping machines steady and predictable. When systems move, they can spiral out of control unless designed with ...

"What's the difference between mathematical optimization and machine learning?" This is a question that — as the CEO of a mathematical optimization software company — I get asked all the time.
