Mathematicians are stunned at the progress AI is making in solving advanced problems, leaving some questioning whether there will still be room for humans ...

Terence Tao is often called the “Mozart of Math.” A child prodigy born in Australia, Tao, 50, is now at the top of his field at the University of California at Los Angeles, working in the rarefied ...

From Aryabhata’s concept of zero and Euclid’s geometryto the principles that later powered modern computer science, mathematics has been shaped by thinkers across eras. This particular list focuses on ...

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

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 ...

A week after OpenAI made headlines with an A.I.-generated proof, a new “declaration” by 16 experts raises concerns that the technology threatens math as a discipline.

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...
