Hey QF Math Enthusiasts,
In our latest short podcast episode, we cover the performance of the latest large language models in international mathematics competitions. While these systems excel at high school and undergrad level Olympiad problems, we explore why the real test lies far beyond in the world of advanced graduate research. We unpack what this gap reveals about AI’s reasoning abilities and why bridging it could mark a turning point in both artificial intelligence and mathematics.
Disclaimer: This is an experimental pod that leverages AI narration with the script written by humans. Of course, the narration occasionally goes off track due to technical nuances and LLM hallucinations. However, most of the time, it gets the technical content right.

About QF Academy
Contrary to the popular myth, mathematicians are not born, they are made. Just like bodybuilding, building mathematical strength takes dedication, consistency, and the right training environment. With the right guidance and support, you can go from hesitant to highly capable.
In fact, many great mathematicians struggled with mathematics in high school and only began to excel when they encountered university-level mathematics. This is because traditional high school education often relies heavily on memorising formulas, rather than focusing on first principles and the axiomatic approach that is emphasized at advanced levels.
What makes us different:
PhD-Level Rigour: Learn to think like mathematician with proof-based approaches to foundational topics such as linear algebra, differential equations, functional analysis, and differential geometry (modern approach)
Real-World Applications: Connect abstract theories directly to quantum computing, machine learning algorithms, and other emerging technologies
Outcomes Guarantee: we are the only e-learning platform that offers a 'Learn, Succeed, or Get Refunded' policy for anyone who completes one of our specialisation courses
We will guide you from your current level to the point where you can confidently develop the following mental framework:
You can start your mathematical transformation today by joining Quantum Formalism (QF) Academy to master advanced mathematical topics that will set you apart in AI and Quantum Computing. Choose from our Standard Plans or explore the newly introduced Flexible Bundles for greater flexibility.
Happy week ahead!
