In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

Watch out, nerdy high schoolers, AlphaGeometry is coming for your mathematical lunch. Credit...Christian Gralingen Supported by By Siobhan Roberts Reported from Stanford, Calif. For four years, the ...

A computer chip modeled after the human brain just solved the kind of math that keeps fighter jets from shaking apart in flight simulations and power grids from collapsing in planning models. In a ...

The race is on to develop an artificial intelligence that can do pure mathematics, and top mathematicians just threw down the gauntlet with an exam of actual, unsolved problems that are relevant to ...

Every year, the countries competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad arrive with a booklet of their best, most original problems. Those booklets get shared among delegations, then quietly ...

Today’s post continues a series highlighting ways teachers can help students see how math and science are relevant to their lives. Emily Burrell has taught high school mathematics for 23 years. For ...

In math, Algebra 1 is a make-or-break course. The class is the gateway to high school math, and struggling to complete it can close off those higher-level pathways—and even jeopardize students’ ...

Math exam questions should not try too hard to appear "realistic" by adding everyday-life stories, because students would simply strip away the context and convert them into familiar formulas to solve ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...
