Computer chips designed like biological brains can finally handle massive math problems without guzzling energy like a normal supercomputer
Yet, to perform that motion, your brain is solving a massive physics problem in milliseconds. It is processing the same kind of complex math that typically demands a warehouse-sized supercomputer.
Quick: what’s 4 + 5? Nine right? Slightly less quick: what’s five plus four? Still nine, right? Okay, let’s wait a few seconds. Bear with me. Feel free to have a quick stretch. Now, without looking, ...
I keep reading here and elsewhere about how a 64 bit processor doesn't offer any inherently better performance over a 32 bit one, and that makes sense to me. Except for the case of 64 bit floating ...
Cognitive overload can create a bottleneck during math lessons, but there are simple strategies to clear up students’ brain space for complex problem-solving.

Addressing working memory can help students with math difficulty improve word problem-solving skills
A new study from the University of Kansas explores the role of working memory in word problem-solving for students with and without math difficulties. Researchers found that using interventions to ...
