Cynthia told the hosts she had a $10,000 check arriving and planned to use it deliberately: $1,000 for a starter emergency fund, $2,000 to clear back taxes and the rest toward her smallest debts. See ...

AI systems are beginning to produce proof ideas that experts take seriously, even when final acceptance is still pending.

Ahead of Valentine’s Day, Robinson unveiled a new set of equations that translate romantic phrases and symbols into mathematics. To create them, he drew on disciplines ranging from trigonometry and ...

Print Join the Discussion View in the ACM Digital Library The mathematical reasoning performed by LLMs is fundamentally different from the rule-based symbolic methods in traditional formal reasoning.

The method has two main features: it evaluates how AI models reason through problems instead of just checking whether their ...

Math struggles in kids may stem from brains that have a harder time learning from mistakes—not just understanding numbers.

Hyesang Chang and colleagues, from Stanford University, explored why some children struggle to learn math compared to their peers in a new JNeurosci paper. Children selected which numbers were bigger ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...

Axiom says its AI found solutions to several long-standing math problems, a sign of the technology’s steadily advancing reasoning capabilities.

Four simple strategies—beginning with an image, previewing vocabulary, omitting the numbers, and offering number sets—can have a big impact on learning.

These student-constructed problems foster collaboration, communication, and a sense of ownership over learning.

The Collatz Conjecture is defined by a rule simple enough for a child to follow. No matter what number you start with, the ...
