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.

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 ...

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

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font of surprising connections all over math and beyond it, to the realm of the ...

Teachers can help ease the anxiety that many students feel with these strategies for creating joyful learning experiences.

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 ...
