The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

Younger students have regained academic ground lost during the pandemic, but older students' test scores remain stagnant.

Supporters see tests such as the SAT as objective measures of academic preparation, allowing comparison among students no ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

I have a confession that probably won't surprise anyone who knows me well: I love reading books about mathematicians. Not because I understand the dense mathematics. I struggled through four semesters ...

A newly decoded mathematical solution devised by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman may help travellers make ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

Students in Independence Local Schools have had a successful year in their math studies, thanks to a new curriculum.

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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 ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.
