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

In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...

This study introduces MathEval, a comprehensive benchmarking framework designed to systematically evaluate the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Addressing key ...

This is a huge advance for AI to make big progress with better reasoning and better math. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the economics of AI. What looks like intelligence in AI models may just be memorization. A closer look at benchmarks ...
