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

Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel ...

Math exam questions should not try too hard to appear "realistic" by adding everyday-life stories, because students would simply strip away the context and convert them into familiar formulas to solve ...

The traveling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimization problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin ...

What if the next new mathematical discovery didn’t come from a human mind, but from an AI? Imagine a machine not just crunching numbers but proposing original solutions to problems that have baffled ...

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine longstanding Erdős problems with Lean-verified proofs, sparking debates about AI progress and its limitations.

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...
