A seemingly simple set of rules kicks off a kind of mathematical magic trick, which has kept great minds busy since the 1930s ...
In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...
In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...
The NBA thinks it solved its tanking problem. But some La Salle researchers might have a better fix.
Before he and two of his best students began figuring out how to stop NBA teams from tanking, T.J. Highley, the chair of La Salle University’s math and ...
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 ...
P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...
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.
Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...
OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...
Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, ...
OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...
Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.
