In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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 ...

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 makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine longstanding Erdős problems with Lean-verified proofs, sparking debates about AI progress and its limitations.

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved 9 open Erdős problems and proved 44 OEIS conjectures using AI-driven formal ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

Don’t Take Math Education For Granted As the United States celebrates its semiquincentennial, let’s not take for granted our ability to count up to 250. In other words, we wouldn’t be where we are now ...

The puzzle poses a deceptively simple question that boils down to: How many pairs of dots on a piece of paper can be the same ...

Math exam questions should not try too hard to appear "realistic" by adding everyday-life stories, because students would ...

We studied results from our own thermostats and other research to find how much smart versions save on monthly bills -- and when they pay for themselves.

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...
