Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font of surprising connections all over math and beyond it, to the realm of the ...

We spend a lot of time thinking about the difficult people in our lives—the friend who can't take feedback, the partner who always has to be right, the coworker who turns everything into a fight. But ...

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 ...

Practice projectile motion with fully solved physics problem examples. This video walks through step-by-step solutions to help you understand equations, motion components, and problem-solving ...

In October 2024, news broke that Facebook parent company Meta had cracked an "impossible" problem that had stymied mathematicians for a century. In this case, the solvers weren't human. An artificial ...

The busy box that is your brain is hard at work all day long—and it doesn’t quit when you’re asleep. Not only does your brain fill your slumber with dreams, it also goes right on solving the problems ...

Consider someone who’s perfectly content with their office chair. It’s not ergonomic, it doesn’t have lumbar support, but it works. Then, during a meeting or a visit to a friend’s office, they sit in ...

Abstract: This letter studies the possibility to feedback linearize the state equations of a nonlinear reversible single-input discrete-time control system by a parametrized state transformation and a ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...
