For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got six or seven of the ten questions right.

Have you ever wondered whether mathletes can go pro? Since 1959, the answer has been “yes” – with the height of achievement and prestige being at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Every ...

A new preprint math paper is lighting up the airwaves as mathematicians tune in for a possible breakthrough in a very old, very sticky problem in number theory. Riemann’s hypothesis—concerning the ...

What if the secrets to the universe’s most perplexing mathematical riddles were no longer locked away, but instead cracked open by an artificial mind? In a new development, OpenAI’s o3-mini model has ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...

Penn Engineers have developed a new way to use AI to solve inverse partial differential equations (PDEs), a particularly challenging class of mathematical problems with broad implications for ...
