Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...
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 it matters.
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...
In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.
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.
We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...
