After an OpenAI model presented a possible solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, mathematicians are speculating about which ...

If you ever solved an arithmetic problem about the speed of trains or cost of groceries, that's an example of mathematical modeling. But for more difficult questions, even just writing the real-world ...

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 ...

At first glance, the problem seems ridiculously simple. And yet experts have been searching for a solution in vain for decades. According to mathematician Jeffrey Lagarias, number theorist Shizuo ...

In a year of unthinkable math progress, as increasingly powerful AI systems have cracked conjectures that had long stumped humans, OpenAI published a breakthrough on Tuesday that represents the most ...

Introducing new math concepts via already-worked examples can give students a significant boost in learning. But choosing the right problems makes a big difference. An analysis earlier this year of ...

AI just solved one of the world’s hardest math problems.

The way we memorize information—a mathematical problem statement, for example—reveals the way we process it. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with CY Cergy Paris ...

In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. And while the story of Tao’s breakthrough is promising, the problem isn’t ...

It might be more difficult than you think!

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...
