This is an extended version of my 2018 Heinemann prize lecture describing the work for which I got the prize. The citation is very broad so this describes virtually all my work prior to 1995 and some afterwards. It discusses work in…
Different kinds of "gender gap" have been reported in different walks of the scientific life, almost always favouring male scientists over females. In this work, for the first time, we present a large-scale empirical analysis to ask whether…
AI for Mathematics (AI4Math) has emerged as a distinct field that leverages machine learning to navigate mathematical landscapes historically intractable for early symbolic systems. While mid-20th-century symbolic approaches successfully…
Mathematics has become inescapable in modern, digitized societies: there is hardly any area of life left that isn't affected by it, and we as mathematicians play a central role in this. Our actions affect what others, in particular our…
Economic growth, people's health, and urban development face challenges in the post-epidemic era. How to promote high-quality and sustainable urban development, improve citizens' sense of happiness, and solve problems in city management…
AI for Mathematics (AI4Math) is not only intriguing intellectually but also crucial for AI-driven discovery in science, engineering, and beyond. Extensive efforts on AI4Math have mirrored techniques in NLP, in particular, training large…
We study gender representation on the editorial boards of 435 journals in the mathematical sciences. Women are known to comprise approximately 15% of tenure-stream faculty positions in doctoral-granting mathematical sciences departments in…
Women are consistently underrepresented in astrophysics yet are simultaneously subject to disproportionate attrition at every career stage. This disparity between demonstrated efficacy in job performance and ultimate career outcome was the…
In the past two decades, teaching and outreach have come to hold an expected place in more missions of mathematics departments and organizations. Still, there is more to do as a mathematical sciences community for mathematics education and…
The aim of this paper is to study the historical evolution of mathematical thinking and its spatial spreading. To do so, we have collected and integrated data from different online academic datasets. In its final stage, the database…
In June 1965, Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, BVM, received the first US PhD in Computer Science, and this paper outlines her life and accomplishments. As a scholar, she has the distinction of being an early advocate of learning-by-example in…
Recent developments show that AI can prove research-level theorems in mathematics, both formally and informally. This essay urges mathematicians to stay up-to-date with the technology, to consider the ways it will disrupt mathematical…
This volume contains the papers presented at the Tenth International Workshop on Developments in Computational Models (DCM) held in Vienna, Austria on 13th July 2014, as part of the Vienna Summer of Logic. Several new models of computation…
Mathematics is one of the most powerful conceptual systems developed and used by the human species. Dreams of automated mathematicians have a storied history in artificial intelligence (AI). Rapid progress in AI, particularly propelled by…
In this research, we quantify an inflow of women into science in the past three decades. Structured Big Data allow us to estimate the contribution of women scientists to the growth of science by disciplines (N = STEMM 14 disciplines) and…
These informal notes are based on the author's lecture at the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics workshop on "AI to Assist Mathematical Reasoning" in June 2023. The goal is to think through a path by which we might…
We introduce a methodology to analyze citation metrics across fields of Mathematics. We use this methodology to collect and analyze the MathSciNet profiles of Full Professors of Mathematics at all 131 R1, research oriented US universities.…
A significant gender disparity is widely known to occur within the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Women are both under-represented in their participation in Australian STEM education (compared to their…
We currently witness the spectacular success of artificial intelligence in both science and public life. However, the development of a rigorous mathematical foundation is still at an early stage. In this survey article, which is based on an…
Over the past thirty years or so the authors have been teaching various programming for mathematics courses at our respective Universities, as well as incorporating computer algebra and numerical computation into traditional mathematics…
