The painstaking process of formalization to verify proofs is starting to surge thanks to AI. That could radically change the ...

Those changes will be contested, in math as in other academic disciplines wrestling with AI’s impact. As AI models become a ...

Mathematical understanding should be a goal for every student and something they feel capable of achieving. But translating ...

My daughter came to me last Tuesday night with her math homework, and I froze. She's in seventh grade. The worksheet had something about solving two-step equations with variables on both sides, and ...

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

In ancient Greece, Euclid showed that if you agree on a small list of preliminary principles, or axioms, you can use deductive reasoning to reveal all sorts of new mathematical truths. But although ...

OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 Pro has solved an open mathematical problem that human researchers could not crack since 2019, according to independent verification by Epoch AI. Contributed by mathematicians Will ...

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart. Try balancing a ruler vertically on the palm of your hand while ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

AI systems have leapt from failing high school math to solving research-level problems and formalizing Fields Medal-winning proofs — and mathematicians are divided on what it means for the future of ...

I’m a new principal investigator (PI) with my own laboratory at a prestigious university. The PhD students who make it into our programme have already achieved a lot academically. But, sometimes, that ...
