Although most scholars say learning math algorithms like regrouping in addition are essential, some worry that schools don't do enough to support the concepts undergirding these common procedures.

Computers fail at even simple math more often than many of us realize and that flaw is rooted in the architecture of the machines themselves. Using machine learning, Google might have discovered a ...

At issue was an algorithm called Q* (pronounced “Q-star”), which has allegedly been shown to solve certain grade-school-level math problems that it hasn’t seen before.
