Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of numerical computation, enabling the approximate representation of real numbers in a format that balances range and precision. Its widespread applicability ...

This paper first exposes some of the defects in the interval arithmetic algorithms of Moore and Krückeberg. Then it identifies classes of problems on which these algorithms compute "optimum bounds".

The Agent-R1 framework provides a path to building more autonomous agents that can reason and use tools in unpredictable, ...

Many people experience mathematics negatively. Many more students have difficulty in performing basic arithmetic operations that may ultimately exclude them from full participation in society (Moses, ...

The University of Wisconsin Department of Mathematics and UW-iSchool partnered with the University Lectures Committee to host mathematician Cathy O’Neil Tuesday evening at the Fluno Center. O’Neil is ...

Acolhua-Aztec land records depicting areas and side dimensions of agricultural fields provide insight into Aztec arithmetic. Hypothesizing that recorded areas resulted from indigenous calculation, in ...

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 ...

Cathy O’Neil believes there is a dark side to numbers. A mathematician by training, she earned her doctorate at Harvard and went on to become a tenure-track professor at Barnard College. In 2007, ...
