Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...

Researchers cracked a 50-year-old math problem scribbled by Richard Feynman over lunch. The equations show that humans are ...

A 23‑year‑old amateur maths enthusiast, Liam Price, used ChatGPT‑5.4 Pro to solve one of Erdős’s long‑standing “primitive set” problems, which had remained unresolved since the early 1960s.

In the restaurant business, small issues can become big problems. A failed payment, a misconfigured menu, or a stuck order can quickly turn into lost revenue. At scale, these are not just support ...

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...
