In its appendix, he introduced what would later be known as Cartesian coordinates: a way to translate geometric curves and shapes into algebraic equations. Algebra became a means of outsourcing ...

Many mathematicians over the years have proved the theorem using algebra and geometry. For thousands of years, a proof using trigonometry was thought to be impossible.

This is where machine learning enters the equation: Ahmadi and Kothari are using AI tools trained on past data to help guide and speed up the process of finding these mathematical proofs. “If I ...
