Areas of pure math such as algebra, analysis, combinatorics and many others can be used—in some cases combined—to solve the complex math problems arising from applications of math to the real world.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...
