Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...

Back in 1948, the journal Physical Review published a paper entitled “Space-Time Approach to Quantum Electrodynamics” by a young physicist named R.P. Feynman at Cornell University. The paper described ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American I was enchanted with the words metonymy and ...

In this respect, Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) have been widely recognised playing a prominent role in cancer cells (Hadler-Olsen et al, 2013), especially in the ...
