Every time you scroll, like, or share on a social media platform, an algorithm is watching, learning, and deciding what you see next. But how many of us stop to think about what's actually driving ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Theorem proving is a fundamental aspect of mathematics, spanning from informal reasoning in natural language to rigorous derivations in formal systems. In recent years, the advancement of deep ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate complex-valued Chinese remainder theorem (C-CRT) with erroneous remainders, where the moduli are Gaussian integers and the errors follow wrapped complex ...

Personalized algorithms may quietly sabotage how people learn, nudging them into narrow tunnels of information even when they start with zero prior knowledge. In the study, participants using ...

Social media algorithms shape what users see, influencing emotions, perceptions, and mental well-being in ways that often go unnoticed. This article examines how these automated systems can amplify ...

block-insertion-theorem is a reproducible reference implementation of a combinatorial result about block insertion and counting linear extensions of posets. The repository provides a formal JSON ...

So, you’re looking to get better at coding interviews, huh? A lot of people find LeetCode pretty tough, and that’s totally normal. It’s all about algorithms and data structures, which can be a steep ...

Algorithms will not simply contribute to science; they will reorganize it. We sketch how science will look in the near future. Notably, algorithms will formalize crucial parts of science that ...
