ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

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 ...

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

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

Areas of pure math such as algebra, analysis, combinatorics and many others can be used—in some cases combined—to solve the complex math problems arising from applications of math to the real world.

Dylan Kane likes his math curriculum. But there’s one important piece missing, he says. The 7th grade math teacher in Leadville, Colo., uses a program that teaches math skills through real-world ...

We’re seeing some new developments in AI models that are shedding light on one of the technology’s most prominent gaps – its relative inability to do math well. Some experts note that AI is ...
