There will be tributes to The Beatles and Tina Turner, maths and police-themed stand-up, a musical and a moving choral work.

The race is on to develop an artificial intelligence that can do pure mathematics, and top mathematicians just threw down the gauntlet with an exam of actual, unsolved problems that are relevant to ...

Large language models struggle to solve research-level math questions. It takes a human to assess just how poorly they perform. By Siobhan Roberts A few weeks ago, a high school student emailed Martin ...
