A little over a week ago, artificial intelligence company OpenAI announced 10 advances in mathematics and computer science made with its as-yet-unreleased model Astra. The discoveries cover a wide ...

OpenAI showed that AI can tackle long-standing problems in mathematics. Experts are excited about the possibilities — and worried about what comes next for their field.

In May 2026, OpenAI released a new math result that sent shock waves throughout the world of mathematical research. A major unsolved problem called the “unit distance conjecture” had just been ...

Mathematics and computer science give two complementary ways to engage with our modern world. In today’s world, where science and technology shape so much of our lives, mathematics and computer ...

Students studying math can focus on statistics. Statistics is one of the fastest-growing fields in the country and is ranked No. 11 for Best Technology Jobs, No. 68 in Best STEM Jobs, and No. 92 in ...

If you are interested in the real-world applications of numbers, discrete mathematics may be the concentration for you. Because discrete mathematics is the language of computing, it complements the ...

Nearly every scientific and engineering field needs applied math to make advances. Applied mathematicians team up with all types of experimentalists to accelerate research by predicting unexpected ...

Applied mathematics involves the application of mathematics to problems which arise in various areas, e.g., science, engineering or other diverse areas, and/or the development of new or improved ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

Study the language by which the book of the universe can be read. Physicists use the language of mathematics to “read” matter and energy. Musicians use it to “read” rhythm and harmony. Statisticians ...

The Department of Mathematics is committed to providing students with the foundational training necessary for graduate work as well as careers in education, business, industry, and public service. Our ...
