Mathematical understanding should be a goal for every student and something they feel capable of achieving. But translating ...

New research has found ChatGPT-5.2 can generate original mathematical proofs, introducing “vibe-proving” as a new AI ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

The seemingly random distribution of prime numbers has confounded some of the best mathematical minds for centuries. But the Riemann hypothesis, which relates to the zeros in a mathematical function, ...

Fermat’s Last Theorem is one of the most famous problems in mathematical history. Proposed in the 17th century, it claimed that certain equations have no solutions in whole numbers. For centuries, ...

Some readers may solve the problem procedurally: line up the two numbers, add the ones column, carry the one, and add the tens to get 43. Others might instead notice a creative shortcut: 29 + 14 is ...

In parts of the Middle East and North Africa, a patchwork of sanctions, payment failures, and licensing gaps pushes people into piracy networks. In the Middle East, piracy is illegal in countries with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Let’s keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...
