This requires an algorithm: students are taught to stack one number atop another and multiply each digit of the bottom number ...

An OpenAI AI model has solved a mathematical puzzle that has eluded humans for over 50 years. Ethan Knight, a researcher at ...

Math classrooms shifted over time to the discovery model. Not suddenly, and not without good intentions. There was a ...

Google and OpenAI have solved decades-old problems — but the scientific community is beginning to discuss whether limits should be placed on the technology ...

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 ...

Mathematicians warned against rising tech industry influence in a declaration describing the many challenges that AI poses to mathematics research. The timing of the declaration comes two weeks after ...

An OpenAI model disproved the 80-year-old Erdős unit distance conjecture, and Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine more open problems days later. Together, these AI math breakthroughs mark a ...

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 ...

“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 ...

OpenAI says a new general-purpose reasoning model has produced an original proof that disproves a long-standing conjecture in discrete geometry tied to the planar unit distance problem. The claim ...

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 ...
