Hundreds of high school students from across the southeast will connect at the College of Charleston on Saturday for the 49th ...

It’s a breakthrough in the field of random walks.

Deep within the source code of this online multiplayer game lies an enigmatic number that puzzles and inspires experts to this day ...

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

After years of assigning the kind of homework she had done as a student and observing students’ disengagement with it, a teacher overhauled how she assigns math practice.

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 ...

Some math problems are designed in ways that reward simplicity rather than analytical depth. Research shows that highly intelligent individuals are more likely to overthink these problems, leading to ...

Math is the sum of its parts, and it adds on itself. What does that mean? It means that multiplication is just repeated addition. And that mastering the times tables will help students simplify ...

AlphaEvolve, an AI that “evolves” code solutions, rediscovered and improved proofs for the finite-field Kakeya conjecture. Gemini Deep Think verified the logic, and AlphaProof formalized the ...

That’s how Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun described the blowback after OpenAI researchers did a victory lap over GPT-5’s supposed math breakthroughs. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis added, ...

24-year-old founder and CEO Carina Hong created Axiom Math in March 2025 and has recruited a team of ten employees, most of whom are from Meta, to build a math-focused AI model. Last fall, Carina Hong ...
