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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 ...

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.

Whenever I get coffee with a mathematician, I always ask which of the seven Millennium Problems they think will be next to ...

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

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