Computer chips designed like biological brains can finally handle massive math problems without guzzling energy like a normal supercomputer
Yet, to perform that motion, your brain is solving a massive physics problem in milliseconds. It is processing the same kind of complex math that typically demands a warehouse-sized supercomputer.
Cognitive overload can create a bottleneck during math lessons, but there are simple strategies to clear up students’ brain space for complex problem-solving.
Ramsey problems, such as r(4,5) are simple to state, but as shown in this graph, the possible solutions are nearly endless, making them very difficult to solve. We’ve all been there: staring at a math ...
Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.
