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

Students in Kristen Gonsoir’s classroom at Groton Area High School in Groton, S.D., spend a lot of time solving equations together. Early this school year, they passed almost an entire period working ...

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font of surprising connections all over math and beyond it, to the realm of the ...

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 ...

A brainy riddle that's stumped mathematicians since World War II appears to have been cracked via artificial intelligence. OpenAI says one of its AI models has solved the "unit distance problem," a ...

Helping students see how what they are learning in school is relevant to their lives, hopes, and dreams enhances motivation. It can also be challenging to teachers who are tasked with covering a lot ...
