Abstract

In this short paper we have produced different kinds of upside down magic squares based on a palindromic day 11.02.2011. In this day appear only the algorisms 0, 1 and 2. Some of the magic squares are bimagic and some are palindromic. Magic sums of the magic squares of order 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 satisfies the Pythagoras theorem. Bimagic squares of order 9x9 are produced with 4, 6 and 8 digits. The bimagic square of order 9x9 with 8 digits is of palindromic numbers. We have given bimagic squares of order 16x16 and 25x25, where the magic sum S1 in both the cases is same. In order to make these magic squares upside down, i.e., 180 degrees rotation, we have used the numbers in the digital form. All these magic square are only with three digits, 0, 1 and 2 appearing in the day 11.02.2011.

Graduate Mathematics in the Age of AI: Forming Mathematicians for Original, Independent, and Responsible Inquiry

Artificial intelligence can increasingly produce plausible, sophisticated mathematical material faster than a developing graduate student can understand or verify it. A sophisticated result or paper draft therefore becomes weaker evidence of the student's own mathematical development. This creates a formation gap between output and personal capacity, and a trust gap between a convincing argument and warranted acceptance. The formation gap can persist even when the student understands the output: understanding a supplied argument does not by itself establish the capacity to initiate and direct inquiry. These gaps are not the whole story. AI can also help students explore examples, compare approaches, enter unfamiliar areas, and undertake ambitious research. The task is to design an apprenticeship that realizes these possibilities while developing substantive mathematical command. The central purpose of a mathematics PhD is to form mathematicians capable of original, independent, and responsible inquiry, including inquiry conducted with AI. This document develops that objective through four connected capacities: competence, judgment, independence, and responsibility. It distinguishes a work's contribution to mathematics from the evidence it provides of a student's formation; explains how a known answer can initiate rather than end creative inquiry; and proposes changes in learning activities, assessment, doctoral originality, advising, and institutional support. Purposeful independent work and ambitious AI-assisted research are complementary parts of the model. Its recommendations include proportionate contribution statements, recognition of advising costs, and staged pilots evaluating both mathematical ability and effective human--AI collaboration. The aim is not to preserve an inherited sequence of training, but to improve mathematical formation as mathematical practice changes.
