Kinetic theory and mathematical modeling have emerged as indispensable tools for elucidating the collective behaviour of complex systems. This discipline applies statistical mechanics to a diverse ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

OpenAI o1 is a new large language model trained with reinforcement learning to perform complex reasoning. o1 thinks before it answers—it can produce a long internal chain of thought before responding ...

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

Modeling complex systems When studying complex biological systems such as the immune system, scientists can extract many different types of data. Sequencing cell genomes tells them which gene variants ...

Complex systems such as metabolic pathways, ecosystems, the Internet, or human societies are comprised of large numbers of components that interact according to rules that change over time and that ...

Today's artificial intelligence (AI) systems possess many skills but typically fall short when it comes to tackling complex math problems. That's why Google is excited that two of its DeepMind AI ...

Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 are milestones for AI reasoning. This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your inbox ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. A few centuries ago, the swirling polychromatic chaos of Jupiter’s atmosphere spawned the immense vortex that we call the Great Red Spot ...
