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 it matters.

Math is not always learned from textbooks. Sometimes, the best lessons begin around a kitchen table. A simple family activity ...

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.

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today unveiled two new AI models that are capable of advanced mathematical reasoning for solving complex math problems, which ...

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

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...

The bat-and-ball problem is a famous math puzzle that more than half of people—even Harvard graduates—get wrong. It's ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Exploring concepts such as observation and measurement in the fresh air can give students a new and playful perspective on ...

From writing essays to coding, there’s seemingly nothing modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot cannot accomplish. But even though they seem limitless on the surface, they’re certainly ...
