From haikus to math journals and comic strips, there are major benefits when writing is infused into the math curriculum.

When an agentic AI system hands a task from a small model to a larger one — or back down again — it pays a steep tax: the receiving model has to recompute the entire conversation from scratch, driving ...

On a recent Sunday night, an employee at Anthropic was out for a jog in San Francisco, opened the Claude app on his phone and instructed the outrageously powerful AI model in his pocket to solve the ...

For more than 150 years, the Riemann hypothesis has stood as one of the major unsolved problems in mathematics, a long-running mystery about the distribution of prime numbers. There is currently a $1 ...

Tennessee has many young, aspiring mathematicians − our math teachers deserve to be recognized for the work they do. But if Tennessee wants to stay competitive, it must give students earlier exposure ...

In integrated math courses like the one taught at Chapman High School, students typically learn a blend of algebra and geometry concepts in the same class, rather than separately. Credit: Doug Barrett ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

As the school year is coming to a close, a new analysis shines another harsh spotlight on what’s being called a “learning recession” for American students. It's a problem that started long before the ...

The researchers were not involved in the initial math calculations but stepped in afterward to review the software's workings and help rewrite the findings. Instead of trying to arrange dots on a flat ...
