The Department of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM) at Northwestern University is highly interdisciplinary and focused on applications. Our faculty and students connect with ...

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft respond to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

DeepMind has used a large language model (LLM) to generate a novel solution to one of humanity’s toughest math problems — in a breakthrough that could herald a new era in AI development. The model, ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

24-year-old founder and CEO Carina Hong created Axiom Math in March 2025 and has recruited a team of ten employees, most of whom are from Meta, to build a math-focused AI model. Last fall, Carina Hong ...
