When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Outgoing postdoctoral fellows and PhD alumni from the Northwestern CS Theory Group have secured positions in academia and industry to continue pursuing research and mentorship goals during the next ...

How do you prove something is true? For mathematicians, the answer is simple: Start with some basic assumptions and proceed, step by step, to the conclusion. QED, proof complete. If there’s a mistake ...

Getting students to buy into a class, getting them to buy into the content, pushing them beyond what they think they're capable of — that is what drives my work. Professor Sam Gutekunst, the John D.

Princeton graduate alumnus Avi Wigderson has won the 2023 A.M. Turing Award from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), recognizing his profound contributions to the mathematical underpinnings ...

Imagine a world where artificial intelligence not only understands language but creates with it, where quantum systems no longer feel like an enigma but a solvable puzzle. It might sound like science ...
