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.

👉 Learn how to solve for the unknown in a triangle divided internally such that the division is parallel to one of the sides of the triangle. The triangle proportionality theorem states that if a ...

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Ethereum is steadily moving toward a future where zero-knowledge cryptography becomes a core part of the network itself, reflecting years of research that are now converging with real-world progress, ...

In a world where data breaches and spying are common, zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are becoming a powerful cryptographic tool that lets you prove that something is true without revealing the secret ...

Our readers have spoken—here are the very Best of the Best of the Triangle (or, the BOBOTTs, as we’ve come to call them in the newsroom). Here you’ll find those winners across categories spanning from ...

Large language models (LLMs) have astounded the world with their capabilities, yet they remain plagued by unpredictability and hallucinations – confidently outputting incorrect information. In ...

These are interesting times for AI and trust. A growing number of investment firms are using AI agents to review research notes and company filings. Humans are asked to surrender increasingly invasive ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...
