OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...

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.

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 it matters.

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

Math is not always learned from textbooks. Sometimes, the best lessons begin around a kitchen table. A simple family activity ...

Many students struggle with mathematics at some stage in their educational journey, and similarly it is the same with their parents—they were students too right? And not everyone was good at math.

Exploring concepts such as observation and measurement in the fresh air can give students a new and playful perspective on ...

Families might be wondering why their child's math classroom looks so different from what they remember in school. Why aren't teachers putting students on the spot and getting them to prove that they ...
