The same is true, fictionalists believe, about mathematical statements. This is where the weird idea that “3 is prime” is a false statement comes from – not because a fictionalist thinks 3 ...

Within general relativity, “one can understand clean mathematical statements and study those statements, and they can give an unambiguous answer within that theory,” says Christoph Kehle ...

This statement was inspired by the observation that so many aspects of the physical world seem to be describable and predictable by mathematical equations to incredible precision. The idea that ...

The fear is that if mathematicians give Plato an inch, he’ll take a mile. If the truth of mathematical statements can be confirmed just by thinking about them, then why not ethical problems ...

This course will focus on reading and writing mathematics. Students will learn how to analyze and interpret mathematical statements and understand the reasoning behind these statements. They will also ...

An equation is a mathematical statement showing that two expressions are equal. The two expressions are linked with an equals symbol (=). The unknown variable (often the letter \(x\)) can take any ...

Google says AlphaProof uses reinforcement learning to prove mathematical statements in the formal language called Lean. The system trains itself by generating and verifying millions of proofs ...

About a decade ago, a Microsoft researcher, Leonardo de Moura, created a computer programming language specifically for proving mathematical statements. Called Lean, this programming language was ...
