Peter Badge. Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges between them is notoriously difficult. Today, the Norwegian ...

Gerd Faltings shocked mathematicians around the world for his 1983 proof of the Mordell conjecture, which brought together ...

Leanna Pitsoulakis took a lap around her freshmen honors math class at Carl Sandburg High School, scanning the work spread across each student’s desk before returning to the front of the room with ...

The central limit theorem started as a bar trick for 18th-century gamblers. Now scientists rely on it every day.

Over the weekend, user @BholanathDutta shared the equation that looked relatively simple to his thousands of followers, until ...

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

Nvidia has announced several new partnerships with Indian companies to help grow the country's AI infra. The announcements, made at the India AI Impact Summit, cover cloud computing, payment systems, ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...

One idle evening last October, Mehtaab Sawhney took up an old pastime. He began perusing the website erdosproblems.com, an updated record of the 1,179 conjectures left behind by the eccentric and ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...
