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 ...
The day when a quantum computer can crack commonly used forms of encryption is drawing closer. The world isn’t prepared, experts say.
On the May 19, 2026 episode of The Ramsey Show, a 53-year-old warehouse manager called in with a wife who has a law degree, a ...
Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...
The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...
OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who ...
Newly released national test scores show student achievement in math rising at the elementary school level—but not among ...
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.
Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.
In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...
OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...
