Meta's work made headlines and raised a possibility once considered pure fantasy: that AI could soon outperform the world's best mathematicians by cracking math's marquee "unsolvable" problems en ...

We like to think that we're pretty good at math, especially after years of schooling. But every once in a while, a simple third-grade math problem manages to trip us up and make us question our ...

The term "computer" used to be applied to humans that performed calculations by hand. It's still important for today's kids to still know how to, say, multiply without using their calculators (or ...

Playing with arithmetic can lead us to unexpected and profound discoveries that point toward deeper mathematics and sometimes even deeper science. We solved our last Insights puzzle by performing some ...
