The quest to make mathematics rigorous has a long and spotty history — one mathematicians can learn from as they push to ...
Mathematical logic provides a rigorous framework for analysing the structure of mathematical reasoning, enabling a deep understanding of both formal systems and the nature of proofs. Central to this ...
MIT Press recently published Fundamental Proof Methods in Computer Science, a book by Konstantine Arkoudas and David Musser, a professor emeritus of computer science at the Rensselaer Polytechnic ...
This paper presents a sequent calculus for the positive relevant logic with necessity and a proof that it admits the elimination of cut. Journal Information Studia Logica publishes original papers on ...
A mathematical proof is irrefutably true, a manifestation of pure logic. But an increasing number of mathematical proofs are now impossible to verify with absolute certainty, according to experts in ...
Artificial intelligence has formally verified the prizewinning proof that solved the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, a result closely tied to Maryna Viazovska’s Fields Medal. The ...
At a secret meeting in 2025, some of the world's leading mathematicians gathered to test OpenAI's newest large language model, o4-mini. Experts at the meeting were amazed by how much the model's ...
