In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

A general-purpose reasoning model, not a math-trained system, produced a new family of point configurations that broke Paul ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erdős, mathematicians have borrowed the ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

A 23‑year‑old amateur maths enthusiast, Liam Price, used ChatGPT‑5.4 Pro to solve one of Erdős’s long‑standing “primitive set” problems, which had remained unresolved since the early 1960s.

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it ...
