GoKawiilNew book 'Big Math' explores AI's growing role in advanced mathematics
Applied mathematicians Steven Strogatz and Alex Townsend have co-authored 'Big Math: The Hidden Codes That Run Our World,' examining how large language models and emerging quantum computing are pushing mathematics beyond what human mathematicians can independently verify or understand. The book grew out of lunchtime conversations at Cornell, where Strogatz mentored Townsend, and builds on Townsend's course covering the top algorithms of the 20th century.
