After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erdős, mathematicians have borrowed the ...

Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel ...

Artificial intelligence built by OpenAI has cracked a decades-old conjecture by Paul Erdős, which mathematicians have hailed ...

Set theory underpins modern mathematical logic by providing a unified language for defining fundamental mathematical objects and analysing their properties. At its core lies the Zermelo–Fraenkel ...

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is so widely accepted that modern mathematicians hardly think about it. But believing in its core principles didn’t come easily. How do mathematicians decide that something ...

Below, Tom Griffiths shares five key insights from his new book, The Laws of Thought: The Quest for a Mathematical Theory of the Mind. Griffiths is a professor of psychology and computer science at ...

Logic studies how arguments work, and how ideas can fit together. Decision theory studies how decisions should be made, especially under uncertainty. Game theory considers how we reason strategically, ...

Researchers at Stanford and Caltech have found some critical reasoning failures in advanced AI models. LLMs are great at recognizing patterns, but they have trouble with basic logic, social reasoning, ...
