Terence Tao has an IQ above 200.Youngest gold medalist in Math Olympiad history. Fields Medal winner. The greatest living mathematician by nearly any measure.And he just said something most people aren’t ready for.Tao: “This whole era of AI is teaching us that our idea of what intelligence is, is not really accurate.”We spent centuries building civilization on one assumption.That intelligence was sacred. Irreducible. Uniquely ours.The one thing that made the entire human story make sense.Then AI

In 1963, mathematician Stanislaw Ulam got bored during a meeting and started doodling a grid spiral of sequential numbers.By highlighting only the primes, he uncovered what remains one of the most mesmerising visual mysteries in number theory: the Ulam Spiral.

Today, April 15, marks the 319th birthday of Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), arguably the most prolific mathematician ever to live.

🚨 AI MAY HAVE JUST SHATTERED A MATHEMATICAL BELIEF THAT STOOD FOR 80 YEARS.A geometry problem posed by legendary mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946 may have just been overturned… by an AI.The problem sounds simple on the surface:How many pairs of dots can exist on a flat plane while all being exactly the same distance apart?For decades, mathematicians believed there was a strict upper limit to how fast those equal-distance pairs could grow.But OpenAI’s internal model found something unexpected:Th

Mathematician June Huh helped transform the field of geometric combinatorics, winning a Fields Medal in 2022. This July, come see the next Fields Medalists announced at #ICM2026 in Philadelphia: https://t.co/uU9elNuyRU #math
