An asteroid or a nuclear war can end the world. Mathematical musings from one’s armchair cannot. Birth rank seems to have no ...

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who ...

Thanks to some surprising advances, mathematicians are starting to realize that artificial intelligence could radically alter ...

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font ...

Nothing rivals the human brain's complexity. Its 86 billion neurons and 85 billion other cells make an estimated 100 trillion connections. If the brain were a computer, it would perform an exaflop (a ...

Learning Python can feel like a big task, especially when you’re just starting out. But honestly, the best way to get a handle on it is to just start writing code. We’ve put together some practical ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

The tipping point came in the summer of 2025. That July, several artificial intelligence models solved five out of six problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad, an annual challenge for some ...

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

David E. Dunning explores how mathematical notation is a social, world-building technology. It’s natural to think of math as being fundamentally abstract. Whether it’s invented or discovered, its ...

We’re outsourcing the very moments that create connection. Here’s how to be more intentional. by Amy Gallo “My coworker’s emails sound like a robot wrote them ...

The company had clashed with the military over how officials wanted to use its cutting-edge A.I. model. The order could vastly complicate intelligence analysis and defense work. By Julian E. Barnes ...
