“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model has solved an 80-year-old math problem in a feat hailed as a major milestone for AI's mathematical ability. The planar unit distance problem, first posed by ...

This is read by an automated voice. Please report any issues or inconsistencies here. Hundreds of UC faculty are urging a return of SAT or ACT test requirements for STEM applicants, citing math ...

Problem-solving skills are essential in the age of artificial intelligence. Don’t Take Math Education For Granted As the United States celebrates its semiquincentennial, let’s not take for granted our ...

The researchers were not involved in the initial math calculations but stepped in afterward to review the software's workings and help rewrite the findings. Instead of trying to arrange dots on a flat ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

Let’s start with what’s probably the most tired, overused joke in math: A topologist is someone who can’t tell a coffee cup from a doughnut. Both, you see, have a hole in them. Topology is usually ...

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 ...
