In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

For generations of American families, railroading has been more than a job; it has been a way of life. Parents passed down careers to their children. Communities grew around rail hubs. Entire family ...

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.” ...

In this video, we provide essential "math help" by demonstrating how to "graph a function" that is defined piecewise. This "math tutorial" focuses on understanding the different components of the ...

NFL fans who are even tangentially aware of New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo know exactly what he brings to the table. The soon-to-be second-year sensation burst onto the scene in 2025 and ...

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 ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...

A “deeply flawed comparison” shapes how the state allocates its higher education dollars. Anyone can view a sampling of recent comments, but you must be a Times subscriber to contribute. Log in above ...

In the past two years, the professional services industry has spent billions of dollars on AI. The return on investment for most organizations remains elusive. Leaders are frustrated. Boards are ...
