I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

At 25, Kurt Gödel proved there can never be a mathematical “theory of everything.” Columnist Natalie Wolchover explores the implications. In 1931, by turning logic on itself, Kurt Gödel proved a pair ...

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.

Scientists have for the first time used artificial intelligence to suggest and prove new mathematical theorems. The potential breakthrough came in a collaboration between mathematicians who specialise ...

Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul. Work by Ingres. It was during this period that he came into contact with the theorems. Credit: Public domain / Wikimedia Commons His political stance allowed him to ...

You don’t need a human brain to do maths — even artificial intelligence can write airtight proofs of mathematical theorems. An AI created by a team at Google has proven more than 1200 mathematical ...

Fields Medal 2026 winners Hong Wang, Yu Deng, John Pardon, and Jacob Tsimerman each solved problems that had stood open for ...

An AI from Google DeepMind can solve some International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) questions on geometry almost as well as the best human contestants. How does ChatGPT work and do AI-powered chatbots ...
