Those with poor numeracy are twice as likely to be unemployed, less likely to own a home and at higher risk of poor health. A ...

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

The P vs NP problem is a fundamental question in computer science, unproven for decades, with immense consequences. If ...

With the introduction of an extra knockout round – the Round of 32 – the top two teams from each group and the eight best ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Abstract: This paper combines two planning problems into a single planning problem and numerically shows the benefits of their combination. Specifically, we combine the optimal transmission expansion ...

AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas—conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill. The planar unit distance problem, or Erdős problem 90, has intrigued ...

Google DeepMind has claimed that its new AI agent, AlphaProof Nexus, autonomously solved nine out of 353 open Erdos problems in a purported milestone related to AI and mathematics. First posed by ...
