From the airflow over a jet wing to the complex weather patterns of a hurricane, our world is governed by powerful mathematical rules. Scientists call these rules differential equations. For centuries, solving these equations has been the key to unlocking breakthroughs in science and engineering.

The problem is, most of these equations are far too complex to solve with a pen and paper. For decades, we've relied on massive supercomputers to get "close-e...
