AI and Python blamed for decline in mathematical rigor

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The use of Dirac and Kronecker deltas in STEM fields is being challenged by a perceived decline in mathematical rigor, particularly with the rise of Python and AI. This shift has led to objections from those who value precise mathematical foundations, reminiscent of historical debates where mathematicians like Schwartz provided rigorous underpinnings for such concepts. AI
