Children’s blocks lie scattered on the floor. You start playing with them — squares, rectangles, triangles and hexagons — moving them around, flipping them over, seeing how they fit together. You feel ...

Construct a convex octagon with four right angles. It probably says a lot about me as a teacher that I assign problems like this. I watch as students try to arrange the right angles consecutively.

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Sam Raskin has wrapped his head around a math problem so complex it took five academic studies — and more than 900 pages — to solve. The results are a sweeping, game-changing math proof that was ...

An artificial-intelligence (AI) tool can rigorously prove whether geometric facts — statements about two-dimensional shapes such as triangles or polygons — are true, just as well as competitors in the ...

Researchers at DeepMind, the artificial intelligence research division of Alphabet Inc., have created software that’s able to solve difficult geometry proofs that are often used to test the brightest ...

Its performance matches the smartest high school mathematicians and is much stronger than the previous state-of-the-art system. Google DeepMind has created an AI system that can solve complex geometry ...
