Fields medallist Timothy Gowers says the celebrated AI maths results arrived as counterexamples, not proofs. One is not even ...

Axiom Math says its AxiomProver system has produced a machine-checked Lean 4 proof of the strongest known result on gaps ...

Large language models (LLMs) can make tutoring more scalable, but only if students use them to reason through mistakes rather than avoid effort. We study this question in a randomized field experiment ...

Quantum entanglement is key to solving a 250-year-old mathematical puzzle – and the discovery could ultimately help build quantum computers that are more resilient to errors. In the 1700s, according ...

AI-powered breakthroughs are raising big questions about how to do mathematics – and why we do it in the first place.

For years, social media giants controlled what users saw in their feeds. While people could follow accounts, like posts or hide content they didn’t enjoy, recommendation algorithms controlled what was ...

NO MATTER WHY or how you lift, the universal system of arithmetic for gym bros is plate math. Train for even a little while, and you quickly learn to identify the weight on the bar from the plates ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

ABSTRACT: Darcy’s law is the fundamental equation describing the flow of a fluid through a porous medium. Combined with the principle of mass conservation, it leads to the diffusion Equation (e.g., ...
