AI & Society, states that algorithmic systems often construct competing but equally valid “model-worlds,” offering empirical support for a philosophical claim that evidence alone cannot uniquely ...

Why do some systems collapse suddenly after what seems like a minor disturbance? A single transmission line failure can cascade into widespread blackouts. A delayed shipment can ripple through a ...

Diving deep into the fascinating realm of functions in algebra, Section 3.2 opens a door to understanding how to determine if a given relation truly qualifies as a function. This section is pivotal, ...

Graphing a piecewise defined function might seem daunting at first, but breaking down the process into manageable steps can make it significantly easier. A piecewise function, as the name suggests, is ...

Linear graphs are straight-line graphs that visually represent a constant rate of change in the relationship between two variables, showing how one changes in response to the other. They are expressed ...

Abstract: This brief proposes a general piecewise-linear (GPWL) representation theorem based on geometrical structure analysis of continuous PWL functions. A constructive algorithm is developed to ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. In the four decades since Oliver Sacks wrote The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, the medical memoir has ...

Functions are fundamental in mathematics, describing relationships between inputs and outputs. For instance, linear functions are used to describe proportional relationships such as calculating cost ...

Most people probably don’t think of mathematics when they hear “busy beavers.” But these eager little animals symbolize one of the most amazing concepts of the knotty field: not everything can be ...
