Back when I was a student,I once scored a 0 on a math exam.It was a problem regarding theCauchy-Riemann equations,which you ...

OpenAI’s trove of new math results doesn’t fully solve any of these highly prestigious open questions, but it seems to make progress on some.

Editor’s note: Some stories are worth coming back to. Originally published in 2024, this behind-the-scenes look at UC admissions is packed with insights for college-bound students, their families and ...

Claude AI has recently achieved a remarkable milestone in mathematical research, as highlighted by Two Minute Papers. After 650 attempts, the AI surpassed a long-standing human record by improving a ...

On a recent Sunday night, an employee at Anthropic was out for a jog in San Francisco, opened the Claude app on his phone and instructed the outrageously powerful AI model in his pocket to solve the ...

The big picture: Prime numbers do not follow a regular pattern, but mathematicians can measure how closely their distribution follows a predictable average. The Riemann zeta function, an infinite ...

An unreleased research version of Claude spent 36 hours autonomously coordinating roughly 60 AI subagents — generating 650 failed ideas before landing on a cross-domain insight that two existing ...

Let’s start here: math’s most famous problem is no closer to being solved than it was a week ago. Neither humans nor artificial intelligence have made progress on the Riemann hypothesis. But AI did ...

For more than 150 years, the Riemann hypothesis has stood as one of the major unsolved problems in mathematics, a long-running mystery about the distribution of prime numbers. There is currently a $1 ...

A new study in Nature Communications has established a link between the Riemann Hypothesis and dynamical phase transitions in engineered quantum systems, demonstrating the effect on a quantum ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...
