New computer tools have the potential to revolutionize the practice of mathematics by providing more-reliable proofs of mathematical results than have ever been possible in the history of humankind.
A team led by mathematician Thomas Hales has delivered a formal proof of the Kepler Conjecture, which is the definitive resolution of a problem that had gone unsolved for more than 300 years. The ...
Chinese AI company DeepSeek has released ' DeepSeek-Prover-V2 ', the second generation model of Prover, an AI specialized in mathematical reasoning, on Hugging Face and GitHub. It is ...
The one source of truth is mathematics. Every statement is a pure logical deduction from foundational axioms, resulting in absolute certainty. Since Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, you’d be ...
Computational logic and formal languages form a cornerstone of modern computer science and mathematics, providing the theoretical framework by which algorithms, automated reasoning systems and even ...
Modal logic, an extension of classical logic, investigates the modes of truth such as necessity and possibility. Its development has been closely intertwined with advances in proof theory, a field ...
I first started teaching Geometry last year and have taken over "Informal Geometry" this year. As the name of the second class implies, the idea of formal proof is strongly de-emphasized; this class ...
How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...
A mathematical problem more than 300 years old gets a formal proof with the help of computer formal verification. A team led by mathematician Thomas Hales has delivered a formal proof of the Kepler ...
