Problem-solving skills are essential in the age of artificial intelligence. Don’t Take Math Education For Granted As the United States celebrates its semiquincentennial, let’s not take for granted our ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the planar unit distance problem. The question posed by the legendary Hungarian ...

Company says work on Paul Erdős planar unit distance problem shows advance in AI reasoning OpenAI has claimed a further advance in AI reasoning after its technology successfully tackled an 80-year-old ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

Let’s start with what’s probably the most tired, overused joke in math: A topologist is someone who can’t tell a coffee cup from a doughnut. Both, you see, have a hole in them. Topology is usually ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

One afternoon earlier this year, my 11-year-old son was sitting at his laptop and working quietly on his math homework. At least, that’s what he was supposed to be doing. When I glanced at his screen, ...

Can you hear the shape of a drum? Can math help reveal what’s happening inside a human organ? For Ricardo Araujo Torres, these aren’t just riddles—they’re the focus of his research at Fordham. “What ...
