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 ...

Abstract: Stochastic processes (SPs) are widely used in many real-world fields, especially AI algorithms and models. A discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC) is a fundamental SP where the probability of ...

A discrete random variable is a type of random variable that can take on a countable set of distinct values. Common examples include the number of children in a family, the outcome of rolling a die, ...

The Mathematics in Computation Section at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) invites outstanding candidates to apply for the Alston S. Householder Fellowship in mathematics and scientific computing.

If a new pathogen causes a large epidemic, then it might “burn out” before causing a second epidemic. The burnout probability can be estimated from large numbers of computationally intensive ...
