AI coding agents ported Fields Medalist Terence Tao’s Java 1.0 math visualizations to JavaScript in hours, identified two ...

How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

Grok 4.5 constructed a counterexample proving hypercontractivity fails on the 4-sphere, closing a decades-old gap in ...

Researchers found that some animals could “count” carrots in a test—and may have better numerical skills than dogs or horses.

Thomas Mulligan examines how cutting-edge artificial intelligence has finally cracked a trio of legendary mathematical ...

When checking that solutions to certain problems are correct, it turns out, you can’t get around the inherent complexity of ...

Many students appear to be completing assignments faster while learning less from them. This conclusion comes from one of the largest studies of how generative AI is changing student behavior and ...

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

The transcript explores Goldbach’s conjecture, the simple-looking claim that every even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes. It follows the problem from Euler and Goldbach to ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...
