Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

A newly decoded mathematical solution devised by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman may help travellers make ...

A seemingly simple set of rules kicks off a kind of mathematical magic trick, which has kept great minds busy since the 1930s ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

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

Before he and two of his best students began figuring out how to stop NBA teams from tanking, T.J. Highley, the chair of La Salle University’s math and ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

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.

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

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

Bonds are supposed to be the boring part of a portfolio. They pay income, dampen volatility, and help offset stock market pain when investors run for safety. But Morgan Stanley cracked open 150 years’ ...
