Every so often it's good to exercise your brain with a math problem or two that forces you to recall principles you learned decades prior. As elementary as it might feel, you'd be surprised how easy ...

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, ...

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.

Researchers say the findings raise questions about what happens to our brains and patterns if we depend too much on AI. Dashia is the consumer insights editor for CNET. She specializes in data-driven ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...

The puzzle poses a deceptively simple question that boils down to: How many pairs of dots on a piece of paper can be the same ...

Five steps to ensure that you don’t jump to solutions by Julia Binder and Michael D. Watkins When business leaders confront complex problems, there’s a powerful impulse to dive right into “solving” ...
