For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

The puzzle poses a deceptively simple question that boils down to: How many pairs of dots on a piece of paper can be the same ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

BYU mathematics professor Doug Corey and a team of students created a YouTube channel devoted to applying theoretical math concepts to real-world problems. Imagine this: the BYU Cougars men’s ...

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 ...

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font ...

Google DeepMind said AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős problems using Lean-verified proofs. The claim has sharpened debate over hallucinations in AI maths and what counts as real progress ...

By listening to recordings of students solving math problems, teachers can determine their next steps, such as how to pair ...
