Remember that math problem from 2014? A Chinese AI tool cracked it ...
GPT-5.4 Pro cracked a conjecture in number theory that had stumped generations of mathematicians, using a proof strategy that ...
In 2024, an AI entered the fray of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Google’s AlphaProof is part of the same Alpha group that also created AlphaFold and AlphaGo. It solved problems that ...
New computer tools have the potential to revolutionize the practice of mathematics by providing more-reliable proofs of mathematical results than have ever been possible in the history of humankind.
There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...
After an eight-year struggle, embattled Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki has finally received some validation. His 600-page proof of the abc conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in ...
Computer-assisted of mathematical proofs are not new. For example, computers were used to confirm the so-called 'four color theorem.' In a short release, 'Proof by computer,' the American Mathematical ...
The incompleteness theorem is accepted as part of the mathematical canon today, but columnist Jacob Aron says it was a ...
