A start-up has surprised the scientific community with a breakthrough: translating a modern proof into a programming language ...

The quest to make mathematics rigorous has a long and spotty history — one mathematicians can learn from as they push to ...

AIP and APS are honored to award Charles Thorn with the 2026 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics. Thorn is being ...

In 2024, Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof made history by competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) — solving problems once thought to require purely human creativity. The Democrats who ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...

The race is on to develop an artificial intelligence that can do pure mathematics, and top mathematicians just threw down the gauntlet with an exam of actual, unsolved problems that are relevant to ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has reached the stage of directly proving complex mathematical theories beyond simple calculation. Google DeepMind researchers on the 13th published findings on the AI ...

A mathematical proof has finally debunked the idea that we live in a simulation, according to a group of international researchers. The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been ...

Mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a computer simulation by Patty Wellborn, University of British Columbia edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes The GIST ...
