In contrast, light inside the Lightmatter and Lightelligence devices “is actually doing math,” Rizzo says. Specifically, both use light to perform matrix multiplication, a fundamental ...

So if the White House had done the math right, and wanted its absurd trade plan to actually work, 20 percent tariffs should have been … 5 percent. That wasn’t the only mistake, Neiman pointed out.

The calculation by the administration employed a value of 0.25 for that critical variable, which in the math of price elasticity indicates that most of the tariff impact does not hit the import price ...

Erin Burnett breaks out whiteboard to explain Trump’s tariff math ...

The 2025 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize has been awarded to Ewain Gwynne of the University of Chicago, for his work in conformal probability, which studies probabilistic objects such as random ...

Trump's new tariff plan is built on a bogus formula—and it’s already crashing markets. Tim Miller and Stan Veuger break down the economic fallout, the fake math behind it, and why it’s more dangerous ...

Harvard might be America’s most elite university — but now it’s offering remedial math classes. The school’s math department is providing a new scaled-back math class for freshmen who are ...

US President Donald Trump unveiled the most aggressive trade policy at a splashy White House ceremony as he announced universal baseline tariff of 10 percent and additional levies on over dozen of ...

The math, they thought, would be a bit more nuanced, but it was rather perversely simplistic. Take the example of Pakistan, where Trump announced a 29pc tariff on imports. How was this number reached?

Mathematics provides tools for explanation and analysis in the physical, engineering, business and social sciences. These tools can help in areas as diverse as planning and evaluating market research, ...

While the president said that those rates equal half the duties on American exports to those countries, the math doesn’t check out. The executive order putting the new tariffs in place suggests ...

While the administration stands by its calculations, one thing is clear: if a Twitter user can unravel the math behind these tariffs in a few tweets, the world of international trade may be in for a ...
