In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

In 1960, three scientists published a paper in Science that calculated, with deliberate provocation, that the human ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

The model unmasks a severe structural asymmetry in decision-making: setting an ambition threshold too high is far costlier to personal or professional performance than setting it too low by an ...

MANILA, Philippines — Scientists often rely on mathematical models to understand how diseases develop and how biological ...

Can advanced mathematics decode the exotic geometries of a psychedelic trip to unlock a new science of reality?

Mining is one of the industries that’s helped by mathematical modelling: models can predict ceiling collapses and keep miners safe. Sunshine Seeds/Shutterstock/For editorial use only Imagine dropping ...

Mathematical models can be useful to developmental biologists, in particular in helping to bridge the gap in understanding between proposed molecular interactions inside and between cells and their ...

Researchers formulated a mathematical equation that unifies 12,000 years of human population growth and points to an alarming ...
