A few short years ago, asking AI to add two four-digit numbers together for a third-grade math assignment would have been a ...

"Mathematics is not a game of chess," one Fields Medal winner told CNET. Mathematicians worry AI companies are just trying to win.

For decades, calculators have been our trusted companions for arithmetic, speeding up calculations but never truly understanding the underlying principles. They offer a powerful tool, but their ...

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, ...

A key part—though surely not the only part—of early-grades math is ensuring students get the basic arithmetic functions down and, beyond that, making sure they’re able to swiftly and automatically ...

One area in which AI has so far been rarely applied is number theory, a branch of mathematics focusing on the study of integers and arithmetic functions. Most research questions in this field are ...

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 ...

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...
