In celebration of Pi Day 2024, NASA is inviting people to participate in its annual Pi Day Challenge, which features math problems related to space missions and requires the use of the mathematical constant pi. The challenge, organized by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Education Office, includes questions about various missions and spacecraft, and participants can solve the problems online with answers posted by NASA for verification. This event offers a fun way for enthusiasts to engage in space-related problem-solving and celebrate Pi Day.
Google has introduced Photomath, an AI-powered app that simplifies solving math problems by allowing users to take a picture of the equation and receive step-by-step explanations. The app also offers a subscription option with additional features. Photomath, which was acquired by Google in 2022, provides a convenient and efficient way to tackle various math problems, making it a valuable tool for students and parents.
Some of the hardest math problems in history have been solved, including the Poincaré conjecture, which asserts that a closed 3-manifold is topologically homeomorphic to a 3-dimensional sphere. These problems have challenged mathematicians for centuries, but advancements in topology and other mathematical fields have led to their solutions.
