Teachers looking for ways to convince their students that math isn’t a boring slog have a convincing new set of visuals: GIF makers are using mathematics to craft hypnotic moving images. Even outside ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

Some scientific discoveries matter because they reveal something new — the double helical structure of DNA, for example, or the existence of black holes. However, some revelations are profound because ...

A mathematician will turn a groundbreaking 100-page proof into computer code. The proof tool, Lean, lets users turn proofs written in prose into rules and logic for testing. Kevin Buzzard already uses ...

The project represents a step toward bridging formal and informal mathematical reasoning, using general-purpose LLMs' capabilities to tackle the structured domain of formal theorem proving. According ...

Math students may not blink at calculating probabilities, measuring the area beneath curves or evaluating matrices, yet they often find themselves at sea when first confronted with writing proofs.
