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.

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 ...

Teachers can help ease the anxiety that many students feel with these strategies for creating joyful learning experiences.

This is a huge advance for AI to make big progress with better reasoning and better math. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new ...

For 14 hours in early March, a team of five seniors from York Community High School competed virtually in an international math challenge, up against more than 600 other math teams, many from elite ...

If OpenAI's new model can solve grade-school math, it could pave the way for more powerful systems. This story is from The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians. That is the immediate takeaway from the “First Proof” challenge—perhaps the most robust test yet of the ...
