Alpöge’s discovery is the latest in a string of high-profile mathematical breakthroughs made by large language models. Recent examples include OpenAI’s disproof of the unit distance conjecture, and ...

Starting the violin can feel a little unfamiliar at first, especially when you don’t know which songs are simple enough to learn early on. That’s why choosing the right easy violin songs matters so ...

Calculus is the study of change. Calculus teaching methods, however, have changed little in recent decades. Now, FIU research shows a new model could improve calculus instruction nationwide. A study ...

Richard Feynman described a decision-making problem and its solution in handwritten notes, but the meaning of the notes has been a mystery for almost 50 y. We decipher the problem and solution from ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

I read the book 'Akira Sakata's Math II Calculus Made Easy,' so I asked Gemini to summarize it for me. Gemini's summary: This book carefully unravels 'calculus,' often considered the most difficult ...

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

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 ...

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 ...
