Sir, – Tony Corcoran (Letters, February 4th) bemoans the use of the term “otiose” as a solution in the Simplex Crossword. If he was a Simplex veteran, he might remember its previous use ... some time ...

Standard computer implementations of Dantzig's simplex method for linear programming are based upon forming the inverse of the basic matrix and updating the inverse ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

Practical word problems are often considered one of the most complex parts of elementary school mathematics. They require students to understand the context of a math problem, identify what the ...

Storytelling and mathematics don’t naturally go together. The best way to spark a discussion about a math topic in a classroom can be unpopular with many students: solving word problems. Word problems ...

Recently, one of my students presented a topic on vasopressors, specifically the use of push-dose epi versus the use of dopamine. An anecdote during his presentation struck a nerve. He said, “The old ...

Research provides a striking revelation about problem solvers. The best problem solvers approach problems much differently than novices. For instance, one meta-study showed that when experts evaluate ...

We study a class of integer bilevel problems, the so-called Integer Linear Multiplicative Bilevel Problem, ILMBP, where the constraints are linear and both the upper level problem and the lower level ...

One effective method to improve the reasoning skills of LLMs is to employ supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with chain-of-thought (CoT) annotations. However, this approach has limitations in terms of ...

This repository contains the code, data, and models of the paper titled "Math Word Problem Solving by Generating Linguistic Variants of Problem Statements" published in the Proceedings of the 61st ...
