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 ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

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 ...

At a secret meeting in 2025, some of the world's leading mathematicians gathered to test OpenAI's newest large language model, o4-mini. Experts at the meeting were amazed by how much the model's ...

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 ...
