9th grader uses Claude AI to prove complex geometry conjecture

A 9th-grade student, with the assistance of Claude, has successfully proven a geometry conjecture regarding the rhombicosidodecahedron. The proof, which addresses the shape's inability to pass through a copy of itself, involved handling complex symmetries and utilized interval arithmetic for verification. Claude played a significant role in generating mathematical arguments, code, and drafting the paper, with the student overseeing the direction and verifying all steps. This result was independently confirmed by other researchers around the same time. AI
