November 6, 2008, Providence, RI---New computer tools have the potential to revolutionize the practice of mathematics by providing far more-reliable proofs of mathematical results than have ever been ...

For centuries, mathematicians have sought to understand and model the motion of fluids. The equations that describe how ripples crease the surface of a pond have also helped researchers to predict the ...

If a million computer scientists had dinner together, they’d rack up an enormous bill. And if one of them was feeling particularly thrifty and wanted to check if the bill was correct, the process ...

New computer tools have the potential to revolutionize the practice of mathematics by providing more-reliable proofs of mathematical results than have ever been possible in the history of humankind.

Your news feature “Does the proof stack up?” (Nature 424, 12; 200310.1038/424012a) — addressing the difficulties faced by mathematicians in verifying the computer-aided putative proof of Kepler's ...

MIT Press recently published Fundamental Proof Methods in Computer Science, a book by Konstantine Arkoudas and David Musser, a professor emeritus of computer science at the Rensselaer Polytechnic ...

In 1935, Albert Einstein, working with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, grappled with a possibility revealed by the new laws of quantum physics: that two particles could be entangled, or correlated, ...

Computer-assisted of mathematical proofs are not new. For example, computers were used to confirm the so-called 'four color theorem.' In a short release, 'Proof by computer,' the American Mathematical ...
