Mathematics is usually classed with the sciences, both in official catalogs and in the popular imagination. People who are good at science…
Math Curriculum Review: MathAcademy
Math Academy is what happens when you build a math program without trying to make it cute. It's ruthlessly effective, occasionally frustrating, and probably the closest thing we have to a "truth in advertising" approach to math education. Math Academy will take your 4th grader all the way through university
The 1960s Art School Experiment That Redefined Creativity
A groundbreaking study revealed that the most compelling artists seek to find problems, not solve them.
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.
What it Means to Be a Mathematician When AI Does the Math
Researchers debate motivation, purpose, and the field’s future
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 is Math Academy? - Ivy Scholars
In this article, we’ll cover what Math Academy is, how it works, and how you can take advantage of what they offer.
The Problem With Promoting ‘Gold Standard Science’

Artificial intelligence in mathematics education: The good, the bad, and the ugly
Integrating Artificial Intelligence [AI] into mathematics education offers promising advancements and potential pitfalls. Striking a balance between AI-driven developments and preserving core pedagogical principles is critical in the teaching and learning environment. AI has emerged as a transformative force in various fields, including education. In the realm of mathematics education, AI technologies offer a spectrum of potential benefits (including personalize instruction, adaptive assessment, interactive learning environments, and real-time feedback, among others) and challenges (such as lack of creativity and problem-solving skills, inability to explain reasoning, bias in data and algorithms, absence of emotional intelligence and data privacy and security concern etc). This conceptual study used autoethnography as the methodology and qualitative content approach to analyze data. The study discussed historical background of AI and considered ethical issues around AI. It was concluded that the journey to harness the full potential of AI in mathematics education requires careful navigation of the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects inherent in this technological evolution.
Terence Tao – Kepler, Newton, and the true nature of mathematical discovery
“And what those stories teach us about how AI will revolutionize math”
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*.
tachikoma
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.
Why do people trust physicists and biologists more than economists or sociologists? In a new paper out in Public Understanding of Science, @hugoreasoning.bsky.social and I argue that it has to do with perceived precision and consensus. doi.org/10.1177/09636625261471051
Sciences perceived as precise and consensual are more trusted - Jan Pfänder, Hugo Mercier, 2026
doi.orgSaw this metaphor by Terence Tao floating around about one of the drawbacks of using AI to solve hard math problems, and kind of have the same feeling for “vibe science” or “fully automated science” line of research in #AI4Science. theatlantic.com/technology/2026/02/ai-math-te… #ScAISci
