Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company ...

Mathematics has always demanded patience. From solving linear equations in algebra to navigating derivatives and integrals in ...

The central limit theorem started as a bar trick for 18th-century gamblers. Now scientists rely on it every day.

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 ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

Do you stare at a math word problem and feel completely stuck? You're not alone. These problems mix reading comprehension with complex math concepts, making them a common hurdle for students. The good ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

The Collatz Conjecture is defined by a rule simple enough for a child to follow. No matter what number you start with, the process always appears to end the same way — and it has never been observed ...

Images of plants painted on pottery made up to 8,000 years ago may be the earliest example of humans’ mathematical thought, a study has found. Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...
