Studying the epic journey of the iconic jumping plumber can lead to new insights in theoretical computer science—and may help ...

And, with considerable assistance from AI tools, we’re seeing the emergence of companies like Pulse that are developing ...

Some have interpreted this as the defining moment when A.I. surpassed human prowess in math, akin to the moment in 1997 when ...

Contrary to their name, bumblebees are no bumbling oafs. A new study published in Science on Thursday found that these bees utilized tools to solve complex problems to win a sugary treat, even if they ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Critics of artificial intelligence caution that, as a relatively new technology, its long-term effects on the human brain are still unknown. But a new study shows that AI could be dangerous even in ...

Goldbach’s conjecture sounds almost too simple: every even number greater than two should be the sum of two primes. Mathematicians have chased it for nearly 300 years, a publisher once offered $1 ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...
