Think back to middle school algebra, like 2 a + b. Those letters are parameters: Assign them values and you get a result. In ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

Veronika Koren talks about pursuing a theory of neural coding that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, and the resilience it took to see it through.

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Ralph Wigum keeps coding work moving by reading prior outputs, ideal for greenfield specs and batch cleanup, giving steady, ...

In a sense, it sounds like that’s another facet of computational thinking that’s more relevant in the age of AI—the abstractions of statistics and probability in addition to algorithms and data ...
