The Trump administration, which rolled back Biden-era AI oversight rules in January 2025, has announced its intent to test frontier AI models before those models are released to the public. To prevent documented harms from AI systems, government oversight of AI models and the AI industry are long overdue. But any effective approach to securing

The Erdős unit distance problem asks for the largest possible number u(n) of unit distances among n points in the plane. This is equivalent to finding maximally dense unit-distance graphs. A recent OpenAI announcement concerns the asymptotic problem: the old n^(1+o(1)) expectation is false.

“The cat’s out of the bag,” said the mathematician Andrew Granville, reflecting on the rapid improvement of AI systems. His phrase captures the mood of the moment: by 2025-26, large language models (LLMs) had become powerful enough to move from impressive demonstrations to serious mathematical and scientific use. AI systems reached gold-medal level at the
- A Modern eTextbook on Laplace Transforms for Engineering, Science and More
by Juan Ortiz on May 11, 2026 at 9:28 pmThe Laplace transform is such an effective tool for solving problems in the fields of science and engineering—it’s one of the main tools available for solving both ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). I’m excited to announce that the notebook version of Laplace Transforms in Theory and Practice: A Computational Approach by Hrachya Khachatryan
- All Elementary Functions from a Single Binary Operatorby Wolfram Blog Team on May 4, 2026 at 5:41 pm
A single two-input gate suffices for all of Boolean logic in digital hardware. No comparable primitive has been known for continuous mathematics: computing elementary functions such as sin, cos, sqrt and log has always required multiple distinct operations. Here I show that a single binary operator, eml(x,y)=exp(x)-ln(y), together with the constant 1, generates the standard

by Gerald H. Thomas on August 22, 2025 at 7:30 pmIn our daily lives, individuals, corporations and societies are constantly involved in making decisions. We hope to make optimal choices, especially when faced with recurrent decision processes. Thus we care about why and how our decision processes change over time. As a practicing engineer and an instructor in higher education, it is my opinion that

by Nick Lariviere on March 5, 2025 at 5:12 pmIn the next few days, most people in the United States, Canada, Cuba, Haiti and some parts of Mexico will be transitioning from “standard” (or winter) time to “daylight” (or summer) time. This semiannual tradition has been the source of desynchronized alarm clocks, missed appointments and headaches for parents trying to get kids to bed at the right time since 1908, but why exactly do we fiddle with the clocks two times a year?
