It’s a weird time to be studying computer science. Recent grads have a higher unemployment rate than those in just about every other major—yes, even philosophy. The internet is littered with rants ...

A few years earlier, he had discovered MIT OpenCourseWare and had seen what it had to offer; now he returned to MIT Open Learning resources in earnest, plowing through courses in data science and ...

AI math proof verification reached a new frontier as DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős research problems with Lean-verified proofs, some unsolved for 56 years. The May 2026 Science Ne ...

The field of computer science is vast and complex, with a seemingly endless sea of knowledge. Each specialized area can lead to limitless learning if pursued deeply. Therefore, a clear and definite ...

When Eric Weber, professor and chair of mathematics at Iowa State University, talks about data science with future math ...

A week after OpenAI made headlines with an A.I.-generated proof, a new “declaration” by 16 experts raises concerns that the ...

As schools across the country debate banning AI chatbots, some math and computer science teachers are embracing them as just another tool. Artificial intelligence can serve as a tutor, giving a ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

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.
