Mathematicians from the California Institute of Technology have solved an old problem related to a mathematical process called a random walk.

OpenAI’s unreleased model solved five of 10 unpublished research-level math problems and proposed a breakthrough physics formula, signaling a new era for AI in science.

Experts gave AI 10 math problems to solve in a week. OpenAI, researchers and amateurs all gave it their best shot ...

In at least two cases, the AI tool was “able to construct an original and valid proof” to unsolved conjectures.

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

In today’s advanced packages, however, resistance no longer resides primarily inside transistors or neatly bounded test ...

AxiomProver solved a real open math conjecture using formal verification, signaling a shift from AI that assists research to AI that discovers new truths.

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Some math problems are designed in ways that reward simplicity rather than analytical depth. Research shows that highly intelligent individuals are more likely to overthink these problems, leading to ...

You’d be surprised how many young people can’t read this. One of its conclusions tells the sad tale. “Between 2020 and 2025, the number of students whose math skills fall below high school level has ...

There weren’t calculators or computers in medieval Europe. But there were math duels. Mathematicians would gather in public squares and pose tricky math problems to each other. Then they raced to ...

Hannah Cairo is in the first year of her mathematics graduate program at the University of Maryland. Like her peers, she does research and is a TA on campus. But unlike most Ph.D. students, Cairo is ...
