In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

Computers are working to solve an age-old geometry problem. Humans can’t “square the circle” by hand, which was proven in the 1800s. Computer solutions involve infinity, complexity, and some ...

Researchers at DeepMind, the artificial intelligence research division of Alphabet Inc., have created software that’s able to solve difficult geometry proofs that are often used to test the brightest ...

STAMFORD — A year ago, when Katy Myers started researching the possibility of a “math circle” in Fairfield County, she didn’t know if it would be popular—but it was something she knew she needed to do ...
