Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

In March 2025, mathematician Daniel Litt made a bet. Despite the march of progress of artificial intelligence in many fields, he believed his subject was safe, wagering with a colleague that there was ...

Some readers may solve the problem procedurally: line up the two numbers, add the ones column, carry the one, and add the tens to get 43. Others might instead notice a creative shortcut: 29 + 14 is ...

“I’ve spent a long time exploring the crystalline beauty of traditional mathematics, but now I’m feeling an urge to study something slightly more earthy,” John Baez wrote on his blog in 2011. An ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we set out to implement a code for processing the edges of a plane domain with a complex geometric shape. The algorithm that enabled us to write this code is based on the ...

Last December, several members of a national organization for math education leaders came together to issue a warning. A growing movement in the field, they claimed, was calling on schools to adopt an ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Imagine you’re sitting in on a fourth-grade math class, witnessing a multiplication lesson. Instead of splitting the room between fast finishers and students who still need support, the teacher gives ...

This year has seen some amazing advancements in fundamental mathematics. Researchers have made breakthroughs in geometry, topology, chaos theory, and more. And a startling three of our top 10 ...

Small group instruction remains one of the most powerful ways to accelerate math learning through differentiation. Yet in many classrooms, teachers feel pressured to create multiple versions of a ...
