A new approach has chipped away at a famously unsolved math problem. The Erdos-Turan conjecture in additive combinatorics is one of the longest lasting unsolved problems. The two mathematicians used ...

They had to throw away most of what it produced but there was gold among the garbage. Google DeepMind has used a large language model to crack a famous unsolved problem in pure mathematics. In a paper ...

In middle school, Abhay Basireddy realized he had a particular interest and aptitude in mathematics. “It had always been my favorite subject, but at that point, I started doing Math Counts and it felt ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

Mathematics is full of mysteries, but some are older than entire civilizations. The oldest unsolved problem in math has ...
