Over the past decade, Professor L. Mahadevan's Soft Math Lab at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has helped establish how the ancient Japanese paper arts ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

The blockbuster game Minecraft depicts a world created by cubes: everything is made of discrete building blocks. It may therefore seem particularly unsuitable for calculating pi (π), the mathematical ...

Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel prize winner—that first posed the problem didn't believe it would ever be ...

On May 20, 2026, OpenAI announced that its internal AI model had disproven a long-held prediction regarding the 'unit distance problem,' a central unsolved problem in discrete geometry. The unit ...

Abstract: In this work, an including the switched evolution process discrete model of a DC-DC converter feeding a switched constant power load is proposed based on the Poincaré mapping rule and matrix ...

Abstract: In the design of self-checking discrete devices, the main tasks are to achieve the smallest structural redundancy of the concurrent error-detection circuits and to ensure the checkability of ...

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering provides students with the skills to apply scientific and mathematical principles to the design and analysis of all hardware, software, and ...

Zhou Zhongpeng, a 28-year-old Peking University doctoral dropout turned tech engineer, has deciphered one of mathematics’ most cryptic frontiers dubbed the “alien’s language” for its impenetrable ...
