Scientists asked ChatGPT to solve a math problem from more than 2,000 years ago — how it answered it surprised them
We've wondered for centuries whether knowledge is latent and innate or learned and grasped through experience, and a new ...
At first glance, the problem seems ridiculously simple. And yet experts have been searching for a solution in vain for decades. According to mathematician Jeffrey Lagarias, number theorist Shizuo ...
In December 2025, a group of researchers from around the world, including UC Berkeley math professor Nikhil Srivastava, gathered inside the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley.
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
