How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

For parents who treat every purchase as a small optimization problem, YAYA has built a quietly compelling case. The brand designs its tumblers for toddlers first, then scales up for adults. That is ...

A new study combines Large Language Models and behavioral mathematics to analyze human decision-making text data at scale.

OpenAI inference cost reduction cut ChatGPT guest traffic from tens of thousands of Nvidia GPUs to just a couple hundred, using software optimization alone. Engineers achieved more than 50% savings ...

The Sports Analytics Research Group employs quantitative analysis to give teams the hard numbers they need to perform better ...

What I remember is the reflex—an almost-automatic pivot to an external brain to help me locate my own train of thought. I ...

Over the past decade, Professor L. Mahadevan's Soft Math Lab at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has helped establish how the ancient Japanese paper arts ...

B, a 3-billion-parameter AI model, is challenging OpenAI, Google and DeepSeek on math and coding benchmarks while reigniting the debate over AI scaling, benchmark gaming and small-model reasoning.

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 ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...
