For nearly 80 years, an algorithm called the simplex method has been one of the most widely used tools for when a logistical decision needs to be made under complex constraints. A new update makes it faster than ever. www.quantamagazine.org/researchers-...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better.

Come for the iconic papers and eye-wateringly beautiful textbooks, stay for the stories "from the trenches" (of which I hope John posts more of!). Keep writing, @johnwatrous.bsky.social !
Bluehost seems to be holding my domain name hostage, I gather in an effort to sell me more products and services. Avoid them at all costs.
But see if I care. Hereafter you can find my web page at jhwatrous.github.io in case you're looking for it.

It's a great option for a static web page, particularly if you like to do your own CSS styling rather than flipping through pre-built templates that are never quite right.

In the late 18th century, Gaspard Monge found a way to efficiently transport soil to build fortifications for Napoleon’s army. Mathematicians are now using his “optimal transport” technique to extend Einstein’s general theory of relativity to new realms.

The mathematician Boaz Klartag recently published the biggest improvement in high-dimensional sphere-packing since 1947. “I thought, I’m 47 years old, all my life I wanted to study lattices, if I don’t do it now then it’s never going to happen.”

Fix the brain drain first, then attract new talents!
Attracting talent from outside Canada is good in principle, but not at the price of forgetting about all the brilliant researchers who are already in Canada looking for a good position within Canada. 🇨🇦

It was an absolute pleasure chatting to @adamjkucharski.bsky.social about his new book Proof, about the history and philosophy of scientific evidence, and how that’s changing in the age of AI. You can read the write-up here: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
Mathematician Adam Kucharski: ‘Our concepts of what we can prove are shifting’
