In my job as an applied mathematician, I use mathematical tools to study and solve complex problems in biology. I have worked on problems involving gene and neural networks such as interactions ...

ChatGPT, Photomath, Symbolab, and other artificial intelligence-powered platforms can solve a complicated math equation in just seconds—and provide a step-by-step explanation of the answer.

The use of AI to solve math problems has become increasingly popular. Google DeepMind's AlphaProof performed at the level of a silver medalist in the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad, a ...

Google DeepMind has used a large language model to crack a famous unsolved problem in pure mathematics. In a paper published in Nature today, the researchers say it is the first time a large ...

FrontierMath, a new benchmark from Epoch AI, challenges advanced AI systems with complex math problems, revealing how far AI still has to go before achieving true human-level reasoning.

For comparison, the average human gold medal winner in the IMO solves 25.9 problems, and the previous state-of-the-art geometric reasoning program could only solve 10 of the 30 benchmark problems.
