A team of German physicists has built a fully working version of quantum mechanics that uses only real numbers. Complex ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world, we’re forever crunching calculations in pursuit of deeper ...

This is where all the math that has been and is still being invented comes into play. Areas of pure math such as algebra, analysis, combinatorics and many others can be used—in some cases combined—to ...

Imagine winding the hour hand of a clock back from 3 o’clock to noon. Mathematicians have long known how to describe this rotation as a simple multiplication: A number representing the initial ...

Geometric algebra is a comprehensive mathematical language that unifies diverse algebraic systems—such as complex numbers, quaternions and vector calculus—within a single structure founded on Clifford ...

To a nonmathematician, having the letter “i” represent a number that does not quite exist and is “imaginary” can be hard to wrap your head around. If you open your mind to this way of thinking, ...

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 ...
