University researchers are exploring a new way to use large language models (LLMs) for middle school math education. Researchers at George Mason University and William and Mary University have created ...

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company ...

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our behavior ...

Remember the graph paper you used at school, the kind that’s covered with tiny squares? It’s the perfect illustration of what mathematicians call a “periodic tiling of space”, with shapes covering an ...

A few minutes into a 2018 talk at the University of Michigan, Ian Tobasco picked up a large piece of paper and crumpled it into a seemingly disordered ball of chaos. He held it up for the audience to ...

Kids with math learning disabilities process number symbols differently than quantities shown as dots — and it shows up in MRIs.

There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...
