Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

The most recent TIMSS assessment underscores the seriousness of our problem. Canadian Grade 4 students performed below both U.S. students and the international median at nearly every math benchmark ...

This year has seen some amazing advancements in fundamental mathematics. Researchers have made breakthroughs in geometry, topology, chaos theory, and more. And a startling three of our top 10 ...

For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...

China entered its first team into the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), widely regarded as the world’s most prestigious math competition for pre-university students, in 1985. Four years later ...
