Jan. 25, 2006 — -- For anyone who struggled through high school geometry, here's some depressing news: Even people in one of the most remote cultures on the planet are able to master it ...

DeepMind said its AlphaGeometry AI model was able to solve complex geometry problems at a level comparable to an Olympiad gold-medalist, showcasing the ability of AI models to use reasoning skills ...

A system developed by Google’s DeepMind has set a new record for AI performance on geometry problems. DeepMind’s AlphaGeometry managed to solve 25 of the 30 geometry problems drawn from the ...

A geometry problem over a century old has just found its definitive answer. Mathematicians have confirmed that the solution proposed by Henry Dudeney in 1907 was indeed the most efficient possible.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1917, the Japanese mathematician Sōichi Kakeya posed what at first seemed like nothing more than a fun exercise in geometry. Lay an ...

Computers are working to solve an age-old geometry problem. Humans can’t “square the circle” by hand, which was proven in the 1800s. Computer solutions involve infinity, complexity, and some ...
