Called the Erdős discrepancy problem, a puzzle that surmised the properties of an infinite, random sequence of +1s and -1s, it remained unsolved for more than eight decades.

Furious Prince William County parents who say the public schools’ new math program is too easy have been unable to change the county’s policies, despite boasting impressive numbers. The county ...

Some math problems are as old as the wind, experts say and many remain truly unsolved. But a new open source-based site from the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) looks to help track work ...

Two mathematicians now say they’ve made progress on a very old unsolved math problem. The problem involves a subfield called geometric measure theory, in which sets of objects are generalized in ...

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 ...
