Recently, I’ve spent a lot of time using AI to work on Erdős problems. The work itself is technical, but the lesson it ...

Over the weekend, user @BholanathDutta shared the equation that looked relatively simple to his thousands of followers, until ...

The robot completed the puzzle in just 45.3 seconds, breaking its own record of 55 seconds made just moments earlier.

Mental math shortcuts suggest future STEM performance—and gender is a significant predictor What is 29 + 14?

In a landmark study published in Cell Reports, scientists demonstrated that mouse cortical organoids (miniature, lab-grown clusters of brain tissue) can learn to perform a goal-directed task: ...

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 ...

The most recent TIMSS assessment underscores the seriousness of our problem. Canadian Grade 4 students performed below both U.S. students and the international median at nearly every math benchmark ...

When a crowd gets something right, like guessing how many beans are in a jar, forecasting an election, or solving a difficult scientific problem, it's tempting to credit the sharpest individual in the ...

In recent years, the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape has shifted from quiet curiosity to relentless noise. Conference taglines, vendor solicitations, and slide decks all seem to begin with the ...

Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren’t the most ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...
