Three mathematicians just proved a famous 30-year-old conjecture in geometry, with only a tiny assist from AI. The conjecture says that even within enormous, scattered and chaotic assemblages of ...

First let’s start with a very obvious question our students are going to have… What is geometry? Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and a branch of mathematics. It focuses on shapes and their ...

Abstract: 6D pose estimation from a single RGB image is a fundamental task in computer vision. The current top-performing deep learning-based methods rely on an indirect strategy, i.e., first ...

It’s no secret that many of us are not too fond of mathematics and geometry, and that it is often too complex. But even so, it can be pretty mind-blowing to look back in history and discover the ...

For over 5 years, Arthur has been professionally covering video games, writing guides and walkthroughs. His passion for video games began at age 10 in 2010 when he first played Gothic, an immersive ...

Quantum materials can be loosely defined as materials for which quantum mechanical effects manifest on a macroscopic scale. Two classes of quantum materials are paradigmatic: superconductors, and ...

Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) is an Open Source, free of charge graphic library, written in industrially standard C++. The terms and conditions of use AGG are described ...

I didn’t find math particularly exciting when I was in high school. To be honest, I only studied it when I went to university because it initially seemed quite easy to me. But in my very first math ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Sjors Heefer’s PhD research explores gravitational waves and spacetime using Finsler geometry, aiming to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics. His findings support the Finslerian nature ...

The cosmos may have something in common with a doughnut. In addition to their fried, sugary goodness, doughnuts are known for their shape, or in mathematical terms, their topology. In a universe with ...
