Exploring concepts such as observation and measurement in the fresh air can give students a new and playful perspective on math.

On the way to a conference dinner in Bengaluru in 2014, Neena Gupta, then a postdoctoral student, was discussing a fundamental problem in algebraic geometry with a field expert, another student, and ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

EUREKA, Mo. — One man was killed by Eureka police after firing shots at officers Thursday night at a home in the Windswept Farms subdivision. Shortly before 8 p.m., officers responded to the 1500 ...

A series of offshore earthquakes shook near California's North Coast early Wednesday morning. The quakes included a magnitude 5.1 earthquake about 40 miles west of Petrolia, which struck at 5:45 a.m., ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

On benchmarks, Opus 4.8 is a step up rather than a leap. It scores 88.6% on SWE-bench Verified (vs. 87.6% for Opus 4.7), 69.2% on the harder SWE-bench Pro (vs. 64.3%), and 74.6% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

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 ...

Goldbach’s conjecture sounds almost too simple: every even number greater than two should be the sum of two primes. Mathematicians have chased it for nearly 300 years, a publisher once offered $1 ...
