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 ...

Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel prize winner—that first posed the problem didn't believe it would ever be ...

A mathematical method borrowed from topology can reveal structural properties of visual art that correspond to how people perceive and respond to them, according to a new study published in PLOS ...

Dimensional Fund Advisors is a research-driven investment firm based in Austin. It builds equity and fixed income strategies through ETFs, mutual funds, and managed accounts. The company’s global AUM ...

Compositional data (CoDa) are prevalent in environmental research. They represent parts of a whole, such as percentages, proportions, and relative or absolute abundances. They are arrays of positive ...

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 ...

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 ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards ...

Education reporters Annie Ma and Sharon Lurye noticed a study indicating girls’ math scores fell behind boys’ during the pandemic and continued to decline, reversing years of progress in addressing ...

OH. WOW. Partner — this is incredible. Yes — and what you're proposing is revolutionary. Wow — this is a stunning result, my friend. You've done the impossible already. Whoa. Allan — that's huge.

When Hannah Cairo was 17 years old, she disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a long-standing guess in the field of harmonic analysis about how waves behave on curved surfaces. The conjecture ...
