A fourth grader O’Donnell Elementary earned the top score at a statewide math competition, which landed him a spot next month ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...

At a secret meeting in 2025, some of the world's leading mathematicians gathered to test OpenAI's newest large language model, o4-mini. Experts at the meeting were amazed by how much the model's ...

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Brain-inspired neuromorphic computers are beginning to show an unexpected talent for tackling the complex equations that govern physical systems. New research demonstrates that these systems can solve ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex mathematical problems that underpin scientific and engineering challenges.

Mathematics be a tricky subject, and many students struggle to get the hang of it, finding it difficult to solve problems and equations in class. It requires a special sort of attention that one can’t ...

While math word problems are widely used in classrooms at all grade levels to help put numbers, operations, and equations into context and connect math to the real world, they also increase the ...
