OpenAI says it’s cracked one of math’s biggest unsolved problems: the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem. How did AI solve something that humans couldn’t solve for decades? Austin Westfall asks mathematician, author and Cornell professor Steven Strogatz about the discovery, and what AI’s rapidly evolving capabilities mean for the future of mathematics and research.
How can students admitted to elite universities be years behind in math? UC Berkeley mathematics professor Zvezdelina Stankova joins Greta Van Susteren to discuss concerns about student preparedness, academic standards, STEM education, and what happens when incoming college students lack key mathematical foundations. Stankova explains why she helped author a widely discussed faculty letter raising concerns about math readiness, grade inflation, learning loss, admissions policies, and the growing role of AI in education. She also discusses the debate surrounding SAT scores and whether universities are being pressured to lower standards rather than address preparedness gaps. The discussion raises broader questions about America's…
- UC Berkeley mathematics professor Zvezdelina Stankova warns that some incoming college students are five to eight years behind in math, with basic skills such as fractions becoming a problem even at elite universities. - Stankova says COVID learning loss, grade inflation and years of inadequate preparation leave some students unable to handle calculus, engineering and other demanding STEM courses. - She argues standardized testing such as the SAT can provide universities with an important baseline for determining whether students are academically prepared for rigorous programs. - Stankova warns that AI can become a dangerous academic crutch when students use it to avoid reading, thinking and solving difficult problems themselves. - She…

BANNON: We’ve been warning nonstop about AI. The AI companies just confirmed they’re spending $700B this year. They can spin it however they want, but one reason jobs aren’t exploding the way you’d expect is AI cutting through low level managerial, admin, and STEM jobs. Yes, the economy is turning and Trump’s doing a strong job. But even the new Fed chair is betting on productivity gains driven by AI.
