Pure mathematics is concerned with the study of abstract structures and intrinsic properties of mathematical objects, independent of practical applications. This field encompasses a variety of domains ...

The artificial intelligence (AI) program DeepMind has gotten closer to proving a math conjecture that's bedeviled mathematicians for decades and revealed another new conjecture that may unravel how ...

Every pure mathematician has experienced that awkward moment when asked, “So what’s your research good for?” There are standard responses: a proud “Nothing!”; an explanation that mathematical research ...

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 ...

In pure mathematics, very occasionally, breakthroughs arrive like bolts from the blue – the result of such inspired feats of reasoning and creativity that they seem to push the very bounds of ...

DeepMind, the AI research laboratory funded by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, today published the results of a collaboration between it and mathematicians to apply AI toward discovering new ...

THIS is a thoroughly good book which deserves to run through many editions. It is not (as its title might suggest) a book on mathematical logic or philosophy: it deals not with the nature of ...
