Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

“Mathematics is the art of reducing any problem to linear algebra.” This is a quote often attributed to William Stein, a former mathematics professor at the University of Washington, now the lead ...
