Integer Linear Programming by Kristina Armitage-Lede
January 30, 2024
Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. Thomas Rothvoss, in collaboration with Victor Reis of the Institute for Advanced Study, published their paper The Subspace Flatness Conjecture and Faster Integer Programming which ... Read more

February 15, 2023
Jonathan Zhu has been awarded a 2023 Sloan Research Fellowship. His research explores the theory and geometry of surfaces governed by their curvature, and how these surfaces interact with the space around them. Mathematical notions of curvature form the language by which many natural phenomena are described, cell membranes, soap films, and the structure of spacetime via general relativity. "Mathematics, and especially geometry, is all around us. By carefully studying seemingly everyday... Read more
