A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...

Brain scans show that most of us have a built-in capacity to learn to code, rooted in the brain’s logic and reasoning ...

Learning to code doesn’t require new brain systems—it builds on the ones we already use for logic and reasoning.

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched ...

Programmers might need to 'read' code in programming languages, but it's not the language-processing part of the brain where blood flow increases during the activity. Instead, a group of MIT ...

The intersection of machine learning and mathematical logic — spanning computer science, pure mathematics, and statistics — has catalyzed recent advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning ...

Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited ...

A host of complex problems involve network analysis—everything from how viruses spread in populations, to choosing the most efficient route to go to several points in a network (such as roadways or ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology doctoral student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, who studies computing and ...

When Aristotle and his predecessors devised their theories of logic and mathematics, they came up with the so-called Law of the Excluded Middle, which states that every proposition must either be true ...

Applying basic algebra skills and a healthy dose of logic, some University of Wyoming students recently took a crack at solving some challenging math problems. Twenty-eight UW students participated in ...
