The race is on to develop an artificial intelligence that can do pure mathematics, and top mathematicians just threw down the ...

Print Join the Discussion View in the ACM Digital Library The mathematical reasoning performed by LLMs is fundamentally different from the rule-based symbolic methods in traditional formal reasoning.

The one source of truth is mathematics. Every statement is a pure logical deduction from foundational axioms, resulting in absolute certainty. Since Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, you’d be ...

Computer-assisted of mathematical proofs are not new. For example, computers were used to confirm the so-called 'four color theorem.' In a short release, 'Proof by computer,' the American Mathematical ...

Number theorist Andrew Granville on what mathematics really is — and why objectivity is never quite within reach. In 2012, the mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki claimed he had solved the abc conjecture ...
