Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

But another part of it is that Feynman is simultaneously defining a problem and solving it. That’s what made it such a fun ...

A new study found that AI assistance improved performance in the moment but reduced problem-solving ability once the tool was ...

For high school students interested in science, engineering or research, national competitions can be excellent opportunities ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

Teachers can help ease the anxiety that many students feel with these strategies for creating joyful learning experiences.

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 ...

The word “futurism” was coined by Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in his famous 1909 manifesto. He later wrote another ...
