All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

AlphaEvolve, an AI that “evolves” code solutions, rediscovered and improved proofs for the finite-field Kakeya conjecture. Gemini Deep Think verified the logic, and AlphaProof formalized the ...

The “Discrete Mathematics” quest in The Outer Worlds 2 comes with a hefty stack of obstacles, starting with its pickup point. You’ll have to avoid explosives, defeat invisible enemies, and solve a ...

Abstract: Spectral clustering (SC) has been applied to analyze varieties of data structures over the past few decades owing to its outstanding breakthrough in graph learning. However, the ...

A few months before the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in July, a three-person team at OpenAI made a long bet that they could use the competition’s brutally tough problems to train an ...

Harvard professor of mathematics and biology Martin Nowak focused on math as a path to God during a presentation at the 2025 annual conference of the Society of Catholic Scientists in Washington, D.C.
