For the second time in a week, a long-standing conjecture has been disproved by artificial intelligence, highlighting the ...

Calculus can derail STEM pathways. Twelve colleges are redesigning gateway math courses to help more students persist.

Math difficulty is still not well understood. But a systems approach may lead to advances in diagnosis and treatment.

Calculators are so ubiquitous and so familiar that they are easy to take for granted in many different ways. [lcamtuf] points ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

Calculus is the study of change. Calculus teaching methods, however, have changed little in recent decades. Now, FIU research shows a new model could improve calculus instruction nationwide. A study ...

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 ...

OpenAI's AI model solved the unit distance problem posed by Paul Erdos in 1946 The AI found a counterexample disproving Erdos's conjecture on unit-distance pairs The solution shows unit-distance pairs ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...
