Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

The card game Set has long inspired mathematicians to create interesting problems. Now, a technique based on large language models (LLMs) is showing that artificial intelligence (AI) can help ...

What if the secrets to the universe’s most perplexing mathematical riddles were no longer locked away, but instead cracked open by an artificial mind? In a new development, OpenAI’s o3-mini model has ...

Microsoft Math Solver is a free tool that uses AI to recognize both printed and handwritten math. It’s particularly strong with geometric proofs and interactive graphing, and it pulls learning ...

A year ago AlphaGeometry, an artificial-intelligence (AI) problem solver created by Google DeepMind, surprised the world by performing at the level of silver medallists in the International ...

Mathematics is often regarded as the ideal domain for measuring AI progress effectively. Math’s step-by-step logic is easy to track, and its definitive automatically verifiable answers remove any ...
