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

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.

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

Students in Kristen Gonsoir’s classroom at Groton Area High School in Groton, S.D., spend a lot of time solving equations together. Early this school year, they passed almost an entire period working ...

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

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Helping students see how what they are learning in school is relevant to their lives, hopes, and dreams enhances motivation. It can also be challenging to teachers who are tasked with covering a lot ...

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 ...
