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

Chinese AI cracks decade-old maths problem without human oversight - Breakthrough provides example of how mathematical ...

After an eight-year struggle, embattled Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki has finally received some validation. His 600-page proof of the abc conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in ...

A research team based in China says its artificial intelligence system has done something no AI has publicly done before: ...

The researchers explained that the AI analysed decades of existing mathematical literature and combined natural language ...

Those changes will be contested, in math as in other academic disciplines wrestling with AI’s impact. As AI models become a ...

When it comes to understanding the shape of bubble clusters, mathematicians have been playing catch-up to our physical intuitions for millennia. Soap bubble clusters in nature often seem to ...

At first glance, the problem seems ridiculously simple. And yet experts have been searching for a solution in vain for decades. According to mathematician Jeffrey Lagarias, number theorist Shizuo ...

Has one of the major outstanding problems in number theory finally been solved? Or is the 600-page proof missing a key piece? The verdict isn’t in yet, but the proof, at least, will finally appear in ...

The same branch of mathematics that helped Einstein to formulate his theory of general relativity could now allow scientists to peer with unprecedented accuracy into impenetrable objects—such as the ...

They added that although the AI could solve the problem on its own, guidance from a mathematician could speed up the process.
