Axiom Math says its AxiomProver AI system has solved four long-standing math problems and achieved peer-reviewed publication, ...

A new AI startup tells Axios that proofs created by its algorithms have now been published in several peer-reviewed academic journals. Why it matters: AI proponents have for years been saying that the ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

Earlier this month an artificial intelligence (AI) startup announced that their AI agent had confirmed a proof of two cases of the devilishly challenging "higher dimensional sphere-packing problem." ...

A mathematician will turn a groundbreaking 100-page proof into computer code. The proof tool, Lean, lets users turn proofs written in prose into rules and logic for testing. Kevin Buzzard already uses ...

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 ...
