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 ...

The race is on to develop an artificial intelligence that can do pure mathematics, and top mathematicians just threw down the gauntlet with an exam of actual, unsolved problems that are relevant to ...

Large language models struggle to solve research-level math questions. It takes a human to assess just how poorly they perform. By Siobhan Roberts A few weeks ago, a high school student emailed Martin ...

We present Prover Agent, a novel AI agent for automated theorem proving that integrates large language models (LLMs) with a formal proof assistant, Lean. Prover Agent coordinates an informal reasoning ...

Print Join the Discussion View in the ACM Digital Library The mathematical reasoning performed by LLMs is fundamentally different from the rule-based symbolic methods in traditional formal reasoning.

An intensive graduate course on the design and analysis of algorithms. This course is primarily aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students interested in doing research in theoretical ...
