A mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for more than 10 years in the physics of complex systems has finally been ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

AI is now helping produce research-level mathematics, but experts say verifying proofs not generating them is becoming the ...

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.

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.

The act of turning a situation into a mathematical representation is called modeling. Translating real situations into mathematical terms If you ever solved an arithmetic problem about the speed of ...

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.

GenAI’s breakthrough in mathematics offers a lesson for medicine: solving healthcare’s biggest problems means questioning old ...

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 ...
