OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

I have a confession that probably won't surprise anyone who knows me well: I love reading books about mathematicians. Not because I understand the dense mathematics. I struggled through four semesters ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the planar unit distance problem. The question posed by the legendary Hungarian ...

“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 ...

Mathematicians have illuminated what sets of points can look like if the distances between them are all whole numbers. The change of plans came on a road trip. On a beautiful day last April, the ...

A long-standing problem in discrete geometry involving how many pairs of points can be exactly one unit apart has been addressed using an artificial intelligence system developed by OpenAI, according ...
