Recent News:How math helps to protect crops from invasive diseaseNew research demonstrates how mathematical modeling can predict outbreaks of toxic fungi in Texas corn crops -- offering a potential lifeline to farmers facing billions in harvest losses. more... New method improves survival analysis power in clinical and epidemiological studiesInnovative statistical method helps determine ideal threshold times in restricted mean survival time analyses. more... Using ChatGPT, students might pass a course, but with a costWith the assumption that students are going to use artificial intelligence and large language models such as ChatGPT to do their homework, researchers set out to learn how well the free version of ChatGPT would compare with human students in a semester-long undergraduate control systems course. more... Study shows addressing working memory can help students with math difficulty improve word problem-solving skillsWorking memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, assess its role in word-problem solving and if interventions could boost it and thereby improve their word problem solving skills. Results showed that improving working memory helped both students with and without math difficulties and can help educators more effectively by helping teach the science of math, study authors argue. more... Modeling method provides smarter way to predict customer demandResearchers have developed a new forecasting model that helps companies more accurately estimate how many customers are interested in a product -- even when key data is missing. The study introduces a mathematical modeling method that enables businesses to estimate customer interest beyond just completed transactions and traditional forecasting techniques. The approach offers a more precise way to understand demand, optimize operations and improve decision-making. more... Multi-resistance in bacteria predicted by AI modelAn AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between genetically similar bacteria and mainly occurs in wastewater treatment plants and inside the human body. more... A simple way to boost math progressScientists investigated whether email interventions informed by behavioral science could help teachers help students learn math. more... |
