As the World Cup final approaches, take a moment to appreciate the beautiful symmetries of humanity’s favorite truncated ...

In integrated math courses like the one taught at Chapman High School, students typically learn a blend of algebra and geometry concepts in the same class, rather than separately. Credit: Doug Barrett ...

Are two sets of data genuinely different, or is it because of randomness? This question, known as the two-sample testing problem, becomes notoriously difficult in modern datasets, because they are ...

On May 20, 2026, OpenAI announced that its internal AI model had disproven a long-held prediction regarding the 'unit distance problem,' a central unsolved problem in discrete geometry. The unit ...

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 ...

Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic has completed a successful series of hot-fire tests of its rotating detonation rocket engine prototype Chakram, marking a key milestone toward bringing the experimental ...

A 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong. Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall. For ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Anisha Sircar is a journalist covering tech, finance and society. This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. This voice ...

In astronomy, where distances are too vast to measure with an ordinary ruler, geometry has long been the workhorse. Now, a new study has turned that ancient mathematical language into a precision tool ...

Experts recommend you rotate your tires every 4,000 to 8,000 miles. While most drivers tend to stay on top of regular maintenance, there are a few important procedures they may overlook. Getting an ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...
