Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

The tipping point came in the summer of 2025. That July, several artificial intelligence models solved five out of six problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad, an annual challenge for some ...

One of the most bitterly contested proofs in modern mathematics may be on the verge of being untangled. Two projects, both aiming to use a computer program to cast new light on the controversy, are ...

Fueled by a second cup of coffee, I opened the door to a pleasant gentleman with medical issues that had markedly impaired ...

A new Anthropic study ranks the jobs most at risk from AI automation. Here are the top jobs, plus the study's takeaway on ...

Pushing against years of scepticism, an analysis suggests quantum computers may offer real advantages for running machine ...

Efforts to use the tech to customize lessons to students' individual interest demonstrate its potential—and the shortcomings.

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics makes the argument that teachers, principals, and district leaders must “stay up to date on current AI trends” to prepare students for the future. But ...

It’s the same math that explains how, under the right conditions, the atmosphere above a barren plain can produce a roiling tornado. Merle has had enormous success taming these blowups in the ...
