Hannah Cairo is in the first year of her mathematics graduate program at the University of Maryland. Like her peers, she does research and is a TA on campus. But unlike most Ph.D. students, Cairo is ...

AlphaEvolve, an AI that “evolves” code solutions, rediscovered and improved proofs for the finite-field Kakeya conjecture. Gemini Deep Think verified the logic, and AlphaProof formalized the ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

Creating opportunities to talk about math builds understanding and strengthens language development for all students—and particularly English language learners. The National Council of Teachers of ...
