The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

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 ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

OpenAI's AI model solved the famous unit distance problem, a question that had challenged mathematicians since 1946 ...

We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul ...

AI solved a math problem that stumped experts for 80 years, revealing deeper lessons about human cognition, focus, and ...

Ian Stewart's Visions of Infinity: The Great Mathematical Problems is an entertaining and fresh look at some of the most vexing problems facing the field of mathematics. We asked him to pick the ...
