Many students struggle with mathematics at some stage in their educational journey, and similarly it is the same with their parents—they were students too right? And not everyone was good at math.

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

They had to throw away most of what it produced but there was gold among the garbage. Google DeepMind has used a large language model to crack a famous unsolved problem in pure mathematics. In a paper ...
