A simplified form of an algorithm for solving mixed integer linear programmes is presented. It is introduced by considering the geometry of the problem, from which most of the terminology originates.

From classrooms to kitchen tables, debates about math education are never far away. Should teachers drill multiplication ...

It's going the distance DeepMind breaks 50-year math record using AI; new record falls a week later AlphaTensor discovers better algorithms for matrix math, inspiring another improvement from afar.

We demonstrate its applicability by considering the min-cost flow problem, by giving a novel algorithm for linear programming over unimodular spaces, and by providing a different proof that for ...

It is also the most energy-intensive part of AI number crunching. The researchers call their new method Linear-Complexity Multiplication—it works by approximating FPMs using integer addition.
