Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

LLMs have recently helped find solutions to a number of minor longstanding problems. But a new plan called First Proof is really putting them to the test ...

Large language models struggle to solve research-level math questions. It takes a human to assess just how poorly they perform.

By explicitly modeling each step of a problem and gradually fading away supports, teachers can give students a clear path to mastering new content.

Rapid advances are rendering benchmarks obsolete in record time ...

For 24 years, Microsoft’s Amanda Silver has been working to help developers — and in the last few years, that’s meant ...

A Russian mathematician has developed a new method for analyzing a class of equations that underpin models in physics and economics and are considered "eternal" as they have challenged researchers for ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

The most recent TIMSS assessment underscores the seriousness of our problem. Canadian Grade 4 students performed below both U.S. students and the international median at nearly every math benchmark ...

Teachers can use these tools to promote discussions and help students move from concrete to abstract understanding of concepts.

OpenAI’s unreleased model solved five of 10 unpublished research-level math problems and proposed a breakthrough physics formula, signaling a new era for AI in science.

An AI lab called Fundamental emerged from stealth on Thursday, offering a new foundation model to solve an old problem: how to draw insights from the huge quantities of structured data produced by ...
