Mathematicians Solve Decades-Old Geometry Problem About Spinning a Needle That Had Long Puzzled the Field
Mathematicians have finally solved a geometry problem that has puzzled the field for decades. The question was proposed by Japanese mathematician Sōichi Kakeya in 1917. It sounds simple: How can you ...
In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...
A system developed by Google’s DeepMind has set a new record for AI performance on geometry problems. DeepMind’s AlphaGeometry managed to solve 25 of the 30 geometry problems drawn from the ...
Computers are working to solve an age-old geometry problem. Humans can’t “square the circle” by hand, which was proven in the 1800s. Computer solutions involve infinity, complexity, and some ...
The computer scientist Erik Demaine and his artist and computer scientist father, Martin Demaine, have been pushing the limits of paper folding for years. Their intricate origami sculptures are part ...
