Everyone agreed on the first step: Solve inside the parentheses, for 2+2=4. But after that, people split down two paths. Some multiplied first, while others divided, leading to different answers—1 and ...

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 ...

What if the famous P vs NP problem isn’t just about algorithms but about the observers trying to solve them? Research ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology Ph.D. student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, a computing and information ...

Who says math can't be fun?! Try these math puzzles for a delightful challenge. Math is not everyone’s favorite, understandably. Hours of math homework and difficult equations can make anyone sour on ...

Mathematicians have discovered a problem they cannot solve. It's not that they're not smart enough; there simply is no answer. The problem has to do with machine learning — the type of ...

An attempt at tackling the intractable Collatz conjecture is a “noble failure” demonstrating the promise of automated reasoning techniques. The computer scientist Marijn Heule is always on the lookout ...

Now, I taught junior high school math for three years, so when I saw this simple equation, I knew I could solve it quickly and I did just that. Before you see my answer, go ahead and solve it for ...

She’s right—using simultaneous equations does get really complicated, and if you’d like to send me your work for the solution, I’d love to see it. But the system is also kind of a trick. Like a sudoku ...

An apparently easy-looking math problem has left internet users scratching their heads. The elementary-grade problem looks simple enough to solve in seconds, but has tripped up the masses. The basic ...
