A team of math and AI researchers at Microsoft Asia has designed and developed a small language model (SLM) that can be used to solve math problems. The group has posted a paper on the arXiv preprint ...

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 ...

A maths programme at St Thomas More Catholic School for Year 4 and 5 pupils, blends logic, geometry, and creativity to boost confidence and ...

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 ...

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, ...

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.

This is a huge advance for AI to make big progress with better reasoning and better math. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) with advanced mathematical reasoning has the potential to unlock new ...
