Ron Eglash was not looking for a revolution when he stumbled across one. The American ethnomathematician, who tracks mathematics embedded in culture, was studying African settlement patterns in the ...

MathCode is a terminal AI coding assistant with a built-in math formalization engine. Give it a math problem in plain language and it will automatically convert it into a Lean 4 theorem and attempt a ...

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically ...

In Hans Christian Andersen's folktale, The Emperor's New Clothes, when a child cries out that the emperor is naked, he isn't revealing a secret. Everyone already knows it. What changes in that instant ...

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with direct access to Mapbox developer APIs. This server enables AI models to interact with Mapbox services, helping developers build ...

The paper represents a novel application of recursion theory to the long call vocalizations of orangutans to demonstrate repetitive, rhythmic sub-structuring. The authors use detailed acoustic ...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly powerful, but their evaluation is often static, which does not consider LLMs’ performance when interacting with humans. We develop a platform to empower ...
