Professional mathematicians have been stunned by the progress amateurs have made in solving long-standing problems with the assistance of AI tools, and say it could lead to a new way of doing mathemat ...
2025 marked a historic year in mathematics. Researchers solved a major case of Hilbert’s ambitious sixth problem, proved a sweeping new theorem about hyperbolic surfaces, and settled the longstanding ...
Nobel Laureate John Nash GS '50 sat in the fifth row of Taplin Auditorium yesterday afternoon. Andrew Wiles, the man who proved Fermat's Last Theorem 10 years ago, sat two rows closer. All told, more ...

Mathematics is traditionally a solitary science. In 1986 Andrew Wiles withdrew to his study for seven years to prove Fermat’s theorem. The resulting proofs are often difficult for colleagues to ...
In Chasing (a) Conjecture, Khare has done more than narrate a personal triumph. He has rendered the abstract palpably human, proving that the most profound proofs are not just about numbers, but about ...
A defining memory from my senior year of high school was a nine-hour math exam with just six questions. Six of the top scorers won slots on the U.S. team for the International Math Olympiad (IMO), the ...
