OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – ...

While this three-step process is the ideal process of applied math, reality is more complicated. Once I reach the second step where I want the solution of the math problem, very often, if not most of ...
