Universities spend a lot of money on journal subscriptions. A lot. My institution budgets millions of dollars annually for this. Multiply that by all the major universities in the world and it's clear ...
Math is everywhere, from the gas station and grocery store to the stock market and science magazines. And it shows up, of course, in schools at all levels. But the educational system doesn’t provide ...
CHICAGO, IL (March 1, 2016) - Sir Timothy Gowers, the world-renowned Cambridge mathematician, and a team of distinguished colleagues are taking on for-profit academic journal publishers with today's ...
Back in February, we told you a little about the scientific revolution that is being spurred by the rising cost of academic journals. At the time, there were questions over whether the movement could ...
As some U.S. states and cities close schools and order certain businesses to shut their doors to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, University of Cambridge mathematician Timothy Gowers ...

Mathematician Timothy Gowers has posted an article detailing his experience using ChatGPT 5.5 Pro for mathematical research. According to Gowers, ChatGPT 5.5 Pro produced doctoral-level combinatorial ...
There are about half a dozen problems that almost all mathematicians agree are supremely important. One that I particularly like is the “P = NP” problem. This concerns a situation that occurs ...
Mathematicians plan to launch a series of free open-access journals that will host their peer-reviewed articles on the preprint server arXiv. The project was publicly revealed yesterday in a blog post ...
New journals spring up with overwhelming, almost tiresome, frequency these days. But Discrete Analysis is different. This journal is online only — but it will contain no papers. Rather, it will ...
After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...
