The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.

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

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

Whenever I get coffee with a mathematician, I always ask which of the seven Millennium Problems they think will be next to ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

A new benchmark pitting AI against previously unseen maths problems shows systems still fall short of top human expertise.

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul ...

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...

In the article “ Are Students Prepared for College-Level Math? A Senator Wants to Know ” (Jan. 23, 2026), U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La. raises a valid question by asking colleges whether K–12 systems ...

There are all sorts of apps available in the market these days, and some of them are immensely useful. Like the apps we’ll talk about in these articles. These apps allow you to solve math problems by ...
