Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own 'undecipherable' coded languages. Mathematicians now present 'big algebras,' a two-way mathematical 'dictionary' ...

DeepMind’s AlphaEvolve helps solve a math puzzle with Terence Tao, showing how AI can now invent new ideas—and prove old ones ...

A modern Red Riding Hood on her way to Grandma’s house can meander through the woods, or drive down the interstate, or even climb a mountain to come around the back way. All those routes will get her ...

“How do I write an equation for exponential decay?” one of my students asked me recently. “I’m trying to predict when Indian elephants will become critically endangered.” I’m a high school math ...

Why is mathematics so complicated? It’s a question many students will ask while grappling with a particularly complex calculus problem — and their teachers will probably echo while setting or marking ...

Researchers at Google DeepMind have trained a new type of AI system capable of solving complex math problems from this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad, reaching a score equivalent to a ...

In his new book The Math Myth: And Other STEM Delusions, political scientist Andrew Hacker proposes replacing Algebra II and calculus in the high school and college curriculum with a practical course ...
