AI is now helping produce research-level mathematics, but experts say verifying proofs not generating them is becoming the ...
Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...
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 ...
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
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.
Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...
GenAI’s breakthrough in mathematics offers a lesson for medicine: solving healthcare’s biggest problems means questioning old ...
The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got six or seven of the ten questions right.
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 ...
The mathematical modelling of oscillatory transient processes in complex mechanical systems is a difficult task. This is especially relevant to objects, including elements, that are analysed as ...
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 ...
A Syrian team has been named among the world's top 11 teams in the 2026 International Mathematical Modeling Challenge (IMMC), ...
