The ICSE has officially released the Class 9 Mathematics syllabus for the 2026–27 academic year. The board has directed its ...

An OpenAI model disproved the 80-year-old Erdős unit distance conjecture, and Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine more open problems days later. Together, these AI math breakthroughs mark a ...

A famed physicist’s scribbles reveal the answer to a quintessential dilemma: When dining out, is it better to stick with an old favorite, or try something new? Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard ...

OpenAI's AI model solved the unit distance problem posed by Paul Erdos in 1946 The AI found a counterexample disproving Erdos's conjecture on unit-distance pairs The solution shows unit-distance pairs ...

Artificial intelligence can now solve open research-level mathematics problems — not just competition questions — and the May 2026 issue of Science News documents the moment the field registered that ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Goldbach’s conjecture sounds almost too simple: every even number greater than two should be the sum of two primes. Mathematicians have chased it for nearly 300 years, a publisher once offered $1 ...
