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.

A breakthrough from an OpenAI model would have meant nothing without humans to make sense of it.

OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...

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

We’re seeing some new developments in AI models that are shedding light on one of the technology’s most prominent gaps – its relative inability to do math well. Some experts note that AI is ...

Artificial intelligence has attained an impressive series of feats—solving problems from the International Math Olympiad, conducting encyclopedic surveys of academic literature, and even finding ...

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 ...

A funny comparison skit showing different approaches to solving math problems with exaggerated everyday behavior. A light comedy take on school-style problem solving and overthinking. #Comedy #Math #S ...

We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...

Imagine you are a mountaineer. Nothing excites you more than testing your skill, strength and resilience against some of the most extreme environments on the planet, and now you've decided to take on ...

Timed math fluency exercises—in which students are asked to solve a certain number of problems within a minute or two—do not appear to exacerbate students’ math anxiety, new research finds. The study, ...
