FCPS recently sent home math brochures describing what students in each grade will be learning this year. Unfortunately, these documents give the inaccurate impression that FCPS is committed to ...

When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

Algorithms are increasingly prevalent in everything we do, from getting insurance to applying to jobs (if the algorithm doesn't pick your application from a big pile, good luck). While it may seem ...

When most people hear the word algorithm, their eyes glaze over. It feels technical, mechanical, even boring. Something hidden inside lines of code that only engineers care about. But that’s a narrow ...

This blog explores how mathematics and algorithms form the hidden engine behind intelligent agent behavior. While agents appear to act smartly, they rely on rigorous mathematical models and ...
