Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft respond to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

Engineers design safer cars, more resilient spacecraft, and stronger bridges using complex math problems that drive the underlying processes. Similarly, doctors use mathematical models to predict ...

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, what happens to the idea of human genius? That question is no longer ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

It’s hard to predict the future, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. But in a recent survey, the EdWeek Research Center asked math teachers to look ahead five years and imagine the ...

Do you stare at a math word problem and feel completely stuck? You're not alone. These problems mix reading comprehension with complex math concepts, making them a common hurdle for students. The good ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...
