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.
Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.
OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.
The bat-and-ball problem is a famous math puzzle that more than half of people—even Harvard graduates—get wrong. It's ...
