By proving that systems long believed to be stable can still "blow up" to infinity, Professor Frank Merle has been awarded ...

The painstaking process of formalization to verify proofs is starting to surge thanks to AI. That could radically change the ...

In the 1930s and 1940s, for example, a group of Polish mathematicians regularly met in a café in Lwów, Poland (now Lviv, ...

Chad Aldeman’s March 16 op-ed, “When high school grads can’t do math,” focuses on outputs, such as MCAS and the proposed MassCore. There is no discussion of inputs, namely the resources needed to ...

If you own an S&P 500 fund, you probably think the choice doesn’t matter much. They all hold the same 500 stocks. They all track the same index. They all deliver roughly the same returns. You’d be ...

You’re never too old to learn something new. People are losing their minds over how simple — yet tricky — an elementary school-level math equation posted on X (formerly Twitter) is. Over the weekend, ...

In March 2025, mathematician Daniel Litt made a bet. Despite the march of progress of artificial intelligence in many fields, he believed his subject was safe, wagering with a colleague that there was ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

Ubiquitous screens, classroom chaos, a dearth of qualified teachers: The reasons our children are struggling in math class are multitude. I can tell you the story of how math instruction is failing ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...
