AI coding agents ported Fields Medalist Terence Tao’s Java 1.0 math visualizations to JavaScript in hours, identified two ...

How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

The ultimate goal in studying sequences, and the most frequently appearing theme in university entrance exams, is "recurrence relations" and "mathematical induction." A recurrence relation defines the ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

For generations, mathematicians have tried and failed to solve an 80-year-old problem. In May, an artificial intelligence (AI) model successfully tackled it. OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, said one of ...

The planar Hall effect is a tabletop diagnostic tool for special quantum properties useful in basic research and technological applications. Or so it was thought, because careful calculation by Kobe ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas—conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill. The planar unit distance problem, or Erdős problem 90, has intrigued ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

When most people think of visual art, they don’t usually think of math at the same time. One primary reason for this is that mainstream culture has framed art and math as two separate functions of the ...

In traditional math classrooms, students are often expected to report answers rather than explain their mathematical reasoning. Brief responses directed toward the teacher can limit opportunities for ...
