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

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A new study reveals that human mathematicians have surpassed AI in solving unpublished high-level math problems, challenging ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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

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 ...

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.

Many school districts and policymakers are stepping up efforts to teach students the skills they need to be prepared for the jobs of the future. One big area of focus is STEM. Jobs in science, ...

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 ...

Get out your timer and number two pencil to see if your arithmetic skills are still sharp.

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...
