Mathematics often feels straightforward, yet some results challenge the way people instinctively think about numbers. Certain paradoxes and probability problems produce answers that seem impossible at ...

Baez called for the development of new mathematics — he called it “green” math — to better capture the workings of Earth’s biosphere and climate. For his part, he sought to apply category theory, a ...

Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we ...

Legendary comedianCarol Burnettopens up about meeting her hero during the height of her variety sketch show, The Carol Burnett Show. Looking back, she remembered how Hollywood legend Betty Grable ...

Abstract: The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to advances in natural language processing, but handling mathematical tasks remains a challenge due to the demands of text ...

Abstract: We present a multi-way parallel corpus of Math Word Problems (MWPs) in nine languages, including six low-resource languages. To date, this is the largest multilingual MWP dataset available.

The race is on to develop an artificial intelligence that can do pure mathematics, and top mathematicians just threw down the gauntlet with an exam of actual, unsolved problems that are relevant to ...
