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 ...

After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erdős, mathematicians have borrowed the ...

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) ...

In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

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

News that large language models (LLM) have made major advances in solving Erdős problems – a set of problems formulated by the renowned 20 th-century mathematician Paul Erdős – has created an ...

Artificial intelligence can now solve open research-level mathematics problems — not just competition questions — and the May 2026 issue of Science News documents the moment the field registered that ...

Understanding the gap between how today's parents learned math and how their children are being taught, and how to work with ...

Researchers at Google DeepMind have announced that their AI system, AlphaProof Nexus, has solved nine longstanding problems posed by Paul Erdős, including some that remained unsolved for over fifty ...

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

Teaching math to English learners in middle and high school requires a nuanced approach. Those students are often at very ...
