The tipping point came in the summer of 2025. That July, several artificial intelligence models solved five out of six problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad, an annual challenge for some ...

A decade or so ago, reading instruction underwent a public reassessment. Whole language approaches had emphasized immersion in texts and contextual, “cue"-based guessing strategies. The goals were ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

In March 2025, mathematician Daniel Litt made a bet. Despite the march of progress of artificial intelligence in many fields, he believed his subject was safe, wagering with a colleague that there was ...

Dr. Clayton is a mathematician. Candidates for quantitative jobs — like those on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley — are sometimes asked offbeat questions such as: How many Ping-Pong balls fit in a 747 ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...

In October 2024 Luke Durant, an independent researcher in San Jose, Calif., announced that he had discovered the largest known prime number—so enormous it would take years to write out in full. One ...
