ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

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.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...

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 ...

Watch out, nerdy high schoolers, AlphaGeometry is coming for your mathematical lunch. Credit...Christian Gralingen Supported by By Siobhan Roberts Reported from Stanford, Calif. For four years, the ...

Imagine you are a mountaineer. Nothing excites you more than testing your skill, strength and resilience against some of the most extreme environments on the planet, and now you've decided to take on ...

We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...

Students often struggle to connect math with the real world. Word problems—a combination of words, numbers, and mathematical operations—can be a perfect vehicle to take abstract numbers off the page.

Exploring concepts such as observation and measurement in the fresh air can give students a new and playful perspective on ...

A little stress can motivate, but teachers increasingly report their students’ fears over math interfere with their learning. In a nationally representative survey conducted this spring, nearly all ...
