Scientists from Technion — Israel Institute of Technology have developed a concept they have named the Ramanujan Machine, after the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
About:
Developed by: Scientists from Technion — Israel Institute of Technology.
What is it?
The Ramanujan machine is more of a concept than an actual machine—it exists as a network of computers running algorithms dedicated to finding conjectures about fundamental constants in the form of continued fractions.
The purpose of the machine is to come up with conjectures (in the form of mathematical formulas) that humans can analyze, and hopefully prove to be true mathematically.
Significance:
Conjectures are a major step in the process of making new discoveries in any branch of science, particularly mathematics.
New conjectures in mathematics, however, have been scarce and sporadic. The idea is to enhance and accelerate the process of discovery.
