In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

The GSMM Camp is a weeklong workshop that builds interdisciplinary problem-solving skills for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Participants work in teams on mathematically rich problems ...

Mathematics is deemed to be beyond figures. It is described as the foundation of resilience in society. Thus, this made Temitope Comfort Iroko, a PhD candidate in Mathematics at the University of ...

Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...

A simple rounding of numbers in a 1960s weather model by Edward Lorenz unexpectedly revealed a profound scientific truth. This seemingly minor alteration led to drastically different outcomes, ...

The formula, developed by a URV research team, accurately describes the movement patterns of people. The results have been published in the journal Nature Communications How many people will travel ...

This study introduces MathEval, a comprehensive benchmarking framework designed to systematically evaluate the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Addressing key ...

OpenAI says its AI model solved a famous 80-year-old maths problem that puzzled experts for decades, marking a major breakthrough in AI-powered research and reasoning.

WORKING OUT how to most efficiently pack a crate full of oranges may seem like a juvenile pursuit for professional mathematicians. And yet the sphere-packing problem, as this pastime is properly known ...
