The introduction of AI into mathematics represents a seismic shift in what it means to do math. When you purchase through ...
DeepMind’s AlphaProof system solved four out of six problems at the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad, generating ...
At a secret meeting in 2025, some of the world's leading mathematicians gathered to test OpenAI's newest large language model, o4-mini. Experts at the meeting were amazed by how much the model's ...
Number theorist Andrew Granville on what mathematics really is — and why objectivity is never quite within reach. In 2012, the mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki claimed he had solved the abc conjecture ...
Mathematicians using the computer program Lean have verified the accuracy of a difficult theorem at the cutting edge of research mathematics. Computer proof assistants have been an intriguing subplot ...
The one source of truth is mathematics. Every statement is a pure logical deduction from foundational axioms, resulting in absolute certainty. Since Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, you’d be ...
A mathematician will turn a groundbreaking 100-page proof into computer code. The proof tool, Lean, lets users turn proofs written in prose into rules and logic for testing. Kevin Buzzard already uses ...
