Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can ...

In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

Breakthroughs in pure mathematics can take decades. A new Defense Department initiative aims to speed things up using artificial intelligence. By Alexander Nazaryan Artificial intelligence can write a ...

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946. Experts say this result could indicate that AI is capable of ...

The artificial intelligence (AI) program DeepMind has gotten closer to proving a math conjecture that's bedeviled mathematicians for decades and revealed another new conjecture that may unravel how ...

The past five years have seen a lot of progress in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in theoretical investigations in pure mathematics and theoretical physics. This domain is markedly different ...

Mathematics, long a bastion of purely human reasoning, is now beginning to feel the influence of artificial intelligence (AI). AI has already transformed other disciplines, from mastering chess and Go ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

In pure mathematics, very occasionally, breakthroughs arrive like bolts from the blue – the result of such inspired feats of reasoning and creativity that they seem to push the very bounds of ...
