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 ...

“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 ...

It started almost by accident. At my startup Dwelly, I constantly push the limits of what AI tools can actually do. One day I just typed into a chat: “Can you prove P ≠ NP?”—referring to the problem ...

May 20 (Reuters) - Harvard University faculty have imposed a limit on the number of "A" grades that can be given to undergraduate students in an effort to end a growing trend of grade inflation at the ...

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 ...

Every year, the countries competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad arrive with a booklet of their best, most original problems. Those booklets get shared among delegations, then quietly ...

State education leaders are revising their draft standards that would make fundamental changes to how students -- especially high school students -- learn and engage with math. But some State Board of ...

M indy Bernhardt teaches criminal justice to undergraduates at Kennesaw State University. In recent years she has found herself grading more easily and expecting less from her students. The reason?

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

The academic effects of the pandemic weren’t just limited to school-age children. Kids who were babies and toddlers in the early years of COVID, currently in 1st and 2nd grades, are now struggling too ...

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 ...
