Gerd Faltings shocked mathematicians around the world for his 1983 proof of the Mordell conjecture, which brought together ...

Some readers may solve the problem procedurally: line up the two numbers, add the ones column, carry the one, and add the tens to get 43. Others might instead notice a creative shortcut: 29 + 14 is ...

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 ...

In classrooms and communities across Arizona, thousands of students who demonstrate readiness for advanced mathematics courses are never given the opportunity to do so. This isn’t due to ability or ...

Hong Kong must more than double the number of secondary school pupils studying advanced maths to ensure a sufficient pipeline of students pursuing science and technology courses at university and ...

Researchers at Stanford and Caltech have found some critical reasoning failures in advanced AI models. LLMs are great at recognizing patterns, but they have trouble with basic logic, social reasoning, ...

Let’s keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.

Kelvin measurement, which has been in use for decades, is no longer sufficient for addressing resistance in complex chips. The problem is that resistance is no longer concentrated in transistors, and ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...

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 ...

OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 Pro does better at solving sophisticated math problems than older versions of the company’s top large language model, according to a new study by Epoch AI, a non-profit research ...

The Collatz Conjecture is defined by a rule simple enough for a child to follow. No matter what number you start with, the process always appears to end the same way — and it has never been observed ...
