A brainy riddle that's stumped mathematicians since World War II appears to have been cracked via artificial intelligence.

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...

In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. And while the story of Tao’s breakthrough is promising, the problem isn’t ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine longstanding Erdős problems with Lean-verified proofs, sparking debates about AI progress and its limitations.

Solving one of the oldest algebra problems isn't a bad claim to fame, and it's a claim Norman Wildberger can now make: The mathematician has solved what are known as higher-degree polynomial equations ...

Researchers used algebra and geometry together to solve an old random walk problem. Random walk ideas have informed everything from biology to video games. This team identified a key geometry idea ...

If Ms. Smith’s 8th grade algebra class works through 10 word problems in an hour, and Ms. Jones’ class works through 10 equation problems during the same time, which class is likely to learn more math ...

This page has been put together to help you practise and revisit some of the brilliant skills you’ve learned all through primary school. It’s a great way to boost your confidence in Maths and get you ...

One of the landmarks of Kyoto, the home of Japanese mathematician Masaki Kashiwara, is the Kamo River. At certain points, there are stepping stones that allow residents to cross the river away from ...
