Applied mathematicians Steven Strogatz and Alex Townsend have co-authored a new book, Big Math: The Hidden Codes That Run Our World, examining how LLMs and quantum computing are pushing "big math" beyond human cognitive limits. The piece uses the book as a lens to discuss how mathematics' role and methods may shift in the AI era, without offering concrete technical methods or empirical results.
