Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

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 ...

Senate Bill 19 requires interventions for struggling students, advanced math classes for gifted students and allows ...

Without the App Store on iOS, we wouldn't be able to play exciting games or get great utility out of purpose-built apps. If there's anything you want your phone to do, it's likely a third-party app ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

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 ...
