For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world, we’re forever crunching calculations in pursuit of deeper ...
In 1976, Appel and Haken proved the Four Color Theorem by reducing it to thousands of cases and checking them mechanically.
A mathematician announced that he used one of Anthropic's A.I. models to find a counterexample to a problem called the Jacobian conjecture. While experts consider it a milestone, the work raises quest ...
Neurosurgery researcher Jin Shanmu has very little formal education in mathematics but solved a major problem in linear ...
In May 2026, OpenAI released a new math result that sent shock waves throughout the world of mathematical research. A major unsolved problem called the “unit distance conjecture” had just been ...
Mahesh Kakde, professor of mathematics at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru(Infosysprize.org) Winner of the the Infosys Prize 2022 in Mathematics for his contributions to algebraic number ...
As millions of people were coming down from the excitement of the FIFA World Cup Final at the start of this week, a different kind of excitement was building within the mathematical community. Levent ...
The Collatz conjecture is also known as the “3n + 1” problem. It’s an easy problem to explain and check, and has been tested up into the nineteen figure range. But it’s only now that anyone has come ...
An Anthropic researcher used the AI model Claude Fable 5 to find a counterexample. This discovery challenges the 87-year-old Jacobian conjecture in mathematics. The AI-assisted finding reportedly ...
