In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Abstract: This paper presents a derivation of four radix-2 division algorithms by digit recurrence. Each division algorithm selects a quotient digit from the over-redundant digit set {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2} ...

Check digits play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of various identification numbers like serial numbers, barcodes, or credit card numbers. By understanding how to calculate ...

This summer, battle lines were drawn over a simple math problem: 8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ? If you divide 8 by 2 first, you get 16, but if you multiply 2 by (2 + 2) first, you get 1. So, which answer is right?
