Julia Stadlmann’s love of numbers took her from the Styrian town of Unzmarkt to Oxford and then to a professorship in the American Midwest. Now, that passion has placed her in an unexpected race with one of the world’s most important artificial-intelligence companies.
Stadlmann solved one of life’s hardest questions early: she knew what she wanted. Mathematics, and especially numbers that can be counted on one’s fingers, had captured her imagination. Those numbers are known as the natural numbers.
She has now published a striking proof, just in time to win the mathematical race against OpenAI. The achievement has made the young Styrian the focus of the day, linking a personal devotion to numbers with a contest involving a leading AI company.
