After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erdős, mathematicians have borrowed the ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational ...

A general-purpose reasoning model, not a math-trained system, produced a new family of point configurations that broke Paul ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...

A recent study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex suggests that adults who are better at math tend to rely less on the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...
