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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people approximate his solution on their own.

Mathematics olympiads teach students that struggling enhances learning, fostering collaboration and a deeper understanding of the subject.

Students with learning disabilities and other challenges may find word problems difficult even when they know the math, so ...
