The painstaking process of formalization to verify proofs is starting to surge thanks to AI. That could radically change the ...
In the last couple of posts on the inverted transition-to-proofs course, I talked about course design, and in the last post one of the prominent components of the course was an assignment type that I ...
For ages, countless mathematicians have advanced mathematics through proofs. This is because proof is a key tool for developing new theories and solving problems. That’s why a discussion about proofs ...
Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...
Remember that math problem from 2014? A Chinese AI tool cracked it ...
AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...
I’ve written about the instructional design behind the inverted transition-to-proofs course and the importance of Guided Practice As I wrote before, each 50-minute class meeting was split up into a ...
The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians. That is the immediate takeaway from the “First Proof” challenge—perhaps the most robust test yet of the ...
