Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

Microsoft Math Solver is a free tool that uses AI to recognize both printed and handwritten math. It’s particularly strong with geometric proofs and interactive graphing, and it pulls learning ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

One ball on a Plinko board is unpredictable. Drop a thousand and they form a near-perfect bell curve—one of math’s most powerful ideas for 150+ years.

Giulio De Leo, Stanford professor of oceans and earth systems and senior fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment, aims to decrease the transmission of schistosomiasis by lowering the ...

OpenAI’s unreleased model solved five of 10 unpublished research-level math problems and proposed a breakthrough physics formula, signaling a new era for AI in science.

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Do you stare at a math word problem and feel completely stuck? You're not alone. These problems mix reading comprehension with complex math concepts, making them a common hurdle for students. The good ...

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 ...

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 ...
