Every so often it's good to exercise your brain with a math problem or two that forces you to recall principles you learned decades prior. As elementary as it might feel, you'd be surprised how easy ...

Look out for PyroFuZA. Those eight letters have the potential to make best use of South Africa’s natural resources and ...

Researchers say the findings raise questions about what happens to our brains and patterns if we depend too much on AI. Dashia is the consumer insights editor for CNET. She specializes in data-driven ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

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

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.

Five steps to ensure that you don’t jump to solutions by Julia Binder and Michael D. Watkins When business leaders confront complex problems, there’s a powerful impulse to dive right into “solving” ...

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.” ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...
