ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

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 ...

I am attempting to solve a mathematical conundrum that has stumped many of humanity’s greatest thinkers. I have zero mathematical training, apart from a distant undergraduate physics degree, which ...

Some of the hardest questions in cosmology begin where the usual math gives up. Push Einstein’s theory far enough back toward the Big Bang, and the equations run into a singularity, a point where ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

GenAI’s breakthrough in mathematics offers a lesson for medicine: solving healthcare’s biggest problems means questioning old ...

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got six or seven of the ten questions right.

Newly released national test scores show student achievement in math rising at the elementary school level—but not among ...

THE main work of mathematical physicists is to represent the sequence of phenomena in time and space by means of differential equations, and to solve these equations. Even the revolution effected by ...

Ultrafinitism, a philosophy that rejects the infinite, has long been dismissed as mathematical heresy. But it is also producing new insights in math and beyond. His two theorems destroyed the search ...

The University at Buffalo requires a Math Readiness Assessment (MRA) to determine readiness for students wishing to enroll in first semester calculus courses, MTH 121, MTH 131, and MTH 141. The UB MRA ...
