For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world, we’re forever crunching calculations in pursuit of deeper ...

A team of AI researchers and mathematicians affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and the U.K. has developed a math benchmark that allows scientists to test the ability of AI systems to ...

Every year, thousands of college students from across the U.S. and Canada give up a full Saturday before finals begin to take a notoriously difficult, 6-hour math test — and not for a grade, but for ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

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 ...

A ripple tells you something happened, but not exactly what. That is the core problem behind a hard class of equations that scientists use when they try to work backward from what they can measure to ...

The best-yet test of artificial intelligence’s mathematical mettle has released its first official round of results. The verdict is that large language models (LLMs) are emerging as useful—albeit ...

There weren’t calculators or computers in medieval Europe. But there were math duels. Mathematicians would gather in public squares and pose tricky math problems to each other. Then they raced to ...

In math, Algebra 1 is a make-or-break course. The class is the gateway to high school math, and struggling to complete it can close off those higher-level pathways—and even jeopardize students’ ...
