Alpöge’s discovery is the latest in a string of high-profile mathematical breakthroughs made by large language models. Recent examples include OpenAI’s disproof of the unit distance conjecture, and ...

Once upon a time, over 40 years ago, a horde of computer scientists descended on the West German city of Dortmund. They were competing to catch an elusive quarry — only four of its kind had ever been ...

In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. And while the story of Tao's breakthrough is promising, the problem isn't ...

Math problems like the Poincaré conjecture and Fermat’s last theorem took centuries to solve. However, others like the Riemann hypothesis and Goldbach’s conjecture still haunt mathematicians and ...

Mathematics has been a fascinating and challenging subject for centuries. From the ancient Greeks to modern-day mathematicians, the pursuit of understanding and mastering math has been a source of ...
