Elementary teachers can create authentic contexts for students to practice critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

How the proteins in our bodies bind together to form protein complexes plays a critical role in numerous cell functions—staving off diseases, for instance, or transporting ions across cell membranes.

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

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 ...

In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the ...

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 ...

I cut my teeth getting grounded in principles of design thinking when I launched a strategic design MBA during my university teaching years. Design thinking is essentially a problem-solving process ...

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, what happens to the idea of human genius? That question is no longer ...

An 80-year-old maths conjecture that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians has been cracked by an artificial intelligence model built by OpenAI. The result has stunned experts and is being ...

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 ...
