The Collatz conjecture is also known as the “3n + 1” problem. It’s an easy problem to explain and check, and has been tested up into the nineteen figure range. But it’s only now that anyone has come ...

DeepMind’s AlphaEvolve helps solve a math puzzle with Terence Tao, showing how AI can now invent new ideas—and prove old ones ...

We present a numerical method for finding extreme examples of identities related to the uniform abc-conjecture for algebraic number fields. Journal Information This journal, begun in 1943 as ...

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

The artificial intelligence (AI) program DeepMind has gotten closer to proving a math conjecture that's bedeviled mathematicians for decades and revealed another new conjecture that may unravel how ...

A pair of mathematicians has solved the first chunk of one of the most famous conjectures about the additive properties of whole numbers. Proposed more than 60 years ago by the legendary Hungarian ...

Despite multiple conferences dedicated to explicating Mochizuki’s proof, number theorists have struggled to come to grips with its underlying ideas. His series of papers, which total more than 500 ...

Hannah Cairo found herself stuck on a problem that wouldn’t leave her mind. It wasn’t a regular homework assignment—it was a decades-old mathematical puzzle believed to be true by leading experts in ...
