AI math proof verification reached a new frontier as DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős research problems with Lean-verified proofs, some unsolved for 56 years. The May 2026 Science Ne ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

In ancient Greece, Euclid showed that if you agree on a small list of preliminary principles, or axioms, you can use deductive reasoning to reveal all sorts of new mathematical truths. But although ...

Yesterday I was doing some literature review for an article I’m writing about my inverted transition-to-proof class, and I got around to reading a paper by Guershon Harel and Larry Sowder¹ about ...

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 ...
