In the 1970s, a remarkable thing was done; a computer was used to solve a math problem. This, in and of itself, was not remarkable. The difference engine could do it. But this problem was the ...

The technology isn't quite perfect, but in addition to essays, it can debate, solve math problems, write computer code, answer follow-up questions, and even admit mistakes.

A new computer prototype called a "memcomputer" works by mimicking the human brain, and could one day solve complex problems like breaking codes, scientists say.

This is known, in the field of mathematics, as the travelling salesman problem. To solve it for more than a handful of "stops," it will almost certainly require a quantum computer. Here's why.

While school districts around the country debate whether to ban generative AI, some math and computer science teachers are optimistic that the tools could have a positive impact in their classrooms.

Research conducted by the Microsoft Research lab in Cambridge could contribute to the development of AI accelerators.
