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 ...
In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...
AI solved a math problem that stumped experts for 80 years, revealing deeper lessons about human cognition, focus, and ...
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.
Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...
A general-purpose reasoning model, not a math-trained system, produced a new family of point configurations that broke Paul Erdős's 1946 upper bound for the pla ...
Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Representation theory transforms abstract algebra groups into things like simpler ...
Top students can benefit greatly by being offered the subject early. But many districts offer few Black and Latino eighth graders a chance to study it. By Troy Closson From suburbs in the Northeast to ...
