Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a prestigious competition featuring talented high school students from around the world, in which competitors solve complicated mathematical problems.

George Pólya’s random walk theorem absolved him of being a lurker and revealed how the laws of chance interact with physical ...

Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...

OpenAI’s unreleased model solved five of 10 unpublished research-level math problems and proposed a breakthrough physics formula, signaling a new era for AI in science.

It’s a breakthrough in the field of random walks.

By explicitly modeling each step of a problem and gradually fading away supports, teachers can give students a clear path to mastering new content.

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over time. Stanford researchers found that a nanoscale silver treatment can ...
