When your AI assistant calculates revenue, bonuses, VAT or financial summaries, it isn’t doing math. It’s telling a convincing story about numbers.

Mathematicians from the California Institute of Technology have solved an old problem related to a mathematical process called a random walk.

OpenAI’s unreleased model solved five of 10 unpublished research-level math problems and proposed a breakthrough physics formula, signaling a new era for AI in science.

LLMs have recently helped find solutions to a number of minor longstanding problems. But a new plan called First Proof is really putting them to the test ...

Faengsrud founded House of Math in 2006, bootstrapping it from a one-woman tutoring service into a platform with over 2.6 million users.

Four Cambridge math students in the 1930s wanted to know if you could fill a square with smaller squares, each a different size. They solved it by pretending the squares were electrical resistors.

AI systems are beginning to produce proof ideas that experts take seriously, even when final acceptance is still pending. Test-time reasoning changes the game: Instead of answering instantly, models ...

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

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 ...
