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.

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

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 ...

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

News that large language models (LLM) have made major advances in solving Erdős problems – a set of problems formulated by the renowned 20 th-century mathematician Paul Erdős – has created an ...

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 ...

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people approximate his solution on their own.

Every year, the countries competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad arrive with a booklet of their best, most original problems. Those booklets get shared among delegations, then quietly ...
