In March 2025, mathematician Daniel Litt made a bet. Despite the march of progress of artificial intelligence in many fields, he believed his subject was safe, wagering with a colleague that there was ...
AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...
The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians. That is the immediate takeaway from the “First Proof” challenge—perhaps the most robust test yet of the ...
A Mathematician with early access to XAI Grok 4.20, found a new Bellman function for one of the problems he had been working on with my student N. Alpay. Not an Erdős problem, but original research.
UP LT Grade Teacher Question Paper 2025: The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has successfully conducted the UP LT Grade exam for Mathematics and Hindi on 06th December 2025 across the ...
Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...
Over a dozen Aussies charged and 92 children rescued over 'horrific' operation in the Philippines The pros and cons of a royal commission into the Bondi killings As millions of Gen Zers face ...
In a digital era plagued by growing privacy concerns and eroding institutional trust, the power to prove something without disclosing sensitive data is not merely an academic exercise—it's a ...
Since the start of the 20th century, the heart of mathematics has been the proof — a rigorous, logical argument for whether a given statement is true or false. Mathematicians’ careers are measured by ...
There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...
