A team of math and AI researchers at Microsoft Asia has designed and developed a small language model (SLM) that can be used ...

Mathematicians excel at handling complexity and uncertainty. Mathematical reasoning strategies aren't just useful for dilemmas involving numbers. We can apply math mindsets to improve our approach to ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Microsoft has introduced a new set of small language models called Phi-4-reasoning, Phi-4-reasoning-plus, and Phi-4-mini-reasoning, which are described as "marking a new era for efficient AI." These ...

Pupils from local primaries came together at St Gabriel’s School for the much-anticipated Year 4 and Year 5 Maths Challenge ...

Ever stared at a math problem feeling completely lost, even when you've memorised all the formulas? Or maybe you've wondered why certain math rules even exist? The true secret weapon that unlocks ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

As a mathematics education researcher, I study how math instruction impacts students' learning, from following standard math procedures to understanding mathematical concepts. Focusing on the latter, ...
