The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics makes the argument that teachers, principals, and district leaders must “stay ...

The painstaking process of formalization to verify proofs is starting to surge thanks to AI. That could radically change the ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. In 1997, Deep Blue, a supercomputer built by IBM, did the unexpected: it defeated chess ...

OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 Pro has solved an open mathematical problem that human researchers could not crack since 2019, according to independent verification by Epoch AI. Contributed by mathematicians Will ...

Add Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MATHVISTA, built with more than 6,000 annotated datapoints from Sahara AI, tests AI models on multimodal math reasoning.

Fermat’s Last Theorem is one of the most famous problems in mathematical history. Proposed in the 17th century, it claimed that certain equations have no solutions in whole numbers. For centuries, ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

Let’s keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...
