If you aren’t used to staring at math, Poisson’s equation looks a little intimidating:

I am a mathematician but I avoided commenting on this because the problems are (far) outside my domain. Even if I sat down to read the technical details (which I have not), it would be hard to appreciate the context of prior work, etc. But I've gotten enough sense of things… https://t.co/VZzosBYFto— Tony Feng (@tonylfeng) August 5, 2026
OpenAI's Unreleased Model Astra Solves Ten Major Open Mathematics Problems
Math is hard.

So I got memed into trying MathAcademy and it was one of the weirdest product experiences of my life. In short: I think they have an amazing product, but they're very opinionated about how you use it, and as a result I can't use it at all.Basically: they've figured out some…— Uri Bram 🔍 (@UriBram) January 16, 2025
Exponential Economist Meets Finite Physicist | Do the Math
[An updated treatment of some of this material appears in Chapter 2 of the Energy and Human Ambitions on a Finite Planet (free) textbook, also mirrors a 2022 article in Nature Physics..]

Mathematics in the Library of Babel — Daniel Litt
Mathematics isn't only about saying true things. It's about asking the right questions, being confused, stumbling about, getting distracted, being wrong, recognizing when you're wrong, being stuck. Mostly being stuck. It's about clinging to a giant edifice and feeling it out until you understand som
What sort of maths are LLMs good at?
For the sake of anyone who might read this blog post in the distant future (a month from now, say), let me mention that I am writing it a few days after OpenAI announced that it had solved ten majo…
Pauls Online Math Notes
Welcome to my math notes site. Contained in this site are the notes (free and downloadable) that I use to teach Algebra, Calculus (I, II and III) as well as Differential Equations at Lamar University. The notes contain the usual topics that are taught in those courses as well as a few extra topics that I decided to include just because I wanted to. There are also a set of practice problems, with full solutions, to all of the classes except Differential Equations. In addition there is also a selection of cheat sheets available for download.
Kill Math
The power to understand and predict the quantities of the world should not be restricted to those with a freakish knack for manipulating abstract symbols.
Thoughtful and relevant outside math. A partial summary: Gowers thinks it’s important to sustain a human mathematical culture, but is unconvinced by the Leiden Declaration’s attempt to do that by reaffirming human ownership of specific *discoveries*.

an interesting blog post by Timothy Gowers on the Leiden declaration (on AI and Math), on why he didn't sign. it gets to a subtler aspect of control over AI and our future.
