The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

A legendary maths riddle finally has an answer. OpenAI says one of its general-purpose AI models has autonomously solved a famous problem first posed in 1946, with external mathematicians checking the ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

Three mathematicians just proved a famous 30-year-old conjecture in geometry, with only a tiny assist from AI. The conjecture says that even within enormous, scattered and chaotic assemblages of ...

2 hours and 30 minutes, with one intermission. At the Booth Theatre, 222 W. 45th Street. Just one piece of the first Broadway revival of David Auburn’s most famous play answers the question “What ...

Performances in N.Y.C. Advertisement Supported by The actress stars as a haunted genius opposite Don Cheadle as her father in David Auburn’s 2001 drama. This revival, though, exposes the play’s lack ...

In ancient Greece, Euclid showed that if you agree on a small list of preliminary principles, or axioms, you can use deductive reasoning to reveal all sorts of new mathematical truths. But although ...

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, ...

In 1990, Marilyn vos Savant riled up scores of mathematicians with her solution to the “Monty Hall Problem.” But she was right. The following is an excerpt from Proof: The Art and Science of Certainty ...
