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 ...

This game is end to end! UPDATE: Solution is here Today’s offering is for fans of the number 4. It’s a cute puzzle that offers up its solution in an elegant way. Nose to tail There is a number N ...

Earlier today I set this elegant number puzzle. Here it is again with a solution. Nose to tail There is a number N beginning with 4 such that moving the 4 to the end of it creates a new number that is ...

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 ...

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 ...

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics makes the argument that teachers, principals, and district leaders must “stay up to date on current AI trends” to prepare students for the future. But ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. It seemed that many were quick to figure out the equation, while others definitley struggled. You’re never too old to learn ...

GPT just keeps getting better at mathematics, increasingly solving the trickiest of problems. In January, AI testing company Epoch AI found that a previous version of the AI model, GPT-5.2 Pro had ...
