Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

Are two sets of data genuinely different, or is it because of randomness? This question, known as the two-sample testing problem, becomes notoriously difficult in modern datasets, because they are ...

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.

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

A seemingly simple set of rules kicks off a kind of mathematical magic trick, which has kept great minds busy since the 1930s ...

Black holes, regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, have been widely studied over the past ...

For nearly eight decades, some of the sharpest minds in mathematics stared at a deceptively simple question about dots on a flat surface and couldn’t crack it. An AI just did. OpenAI announced that ...
