The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.

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

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font of surprising connections all over math and beyond it, to the realm of the ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...

Across the country, states are passing new laws aimed at improving math teaching—mandating that schools intervene early to support students who struggle, expanding access to advanced courses in later ...

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul ...

People often solve simple arithmetic problems, such as basic addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, in their minds. The precise mental processes they rely on to solve these problems, ...
