Primus for X

Primus for Math

An autonomous AI research scientist for mathematics and engineering, built with 40-year math software pioneer Maplesoft. Give it a high-level problem and it reads the literature, derives the model, runs the computation, and shows its work at every step.

01

Math tools that were trapped inside frontier labs, for everyone

AI agents working on frontier math problems is one of the most exciting things happening in tech, but the tools to do it have sat behind the closed doors of corporate research labs. Primus for Math brings the field’s best computational engines to anyone with a Primus account.

THE PHYSICIST

At a small university

Pursue a rigorous mathematics question without a department of specialists behind you.

THE ENGINEER

Outside their specialty

Tackle a problem in an unfamiliar area, with every step shown and checkable.

THE STARTUP

Two people, big models

Run system modeling that once required a major laboratory.

See it work

A quick intro to Primus for Math.
03

It works the way mathematicians work

Primus for Math follows real research practice, from checking what’s already known and hunting for counterexamples to tracking every lemma until it’s proved.

  1. 01

    Reads the literature

    Starts from what the field already knows, so it doesn’t rediscover old results.

  2. 02

    Derives the model

    Turns a high-level problem into precise statements and equations.

  3. 03

    Runs the computation

    Exact symbolic calculation in Maple, simulation in Modelica, experiments at scale.

  4. 04

    Shows its work

    Logs its reasoning, failed paths included, for you to check and build on.

04

Three modes

MODE 1

Written proofs

Rigorous arguments written up the way a paper would present them.

MODE 2

Lean proofs

When Primus finds a result it can prove, it writes the proof in Lean so a computer can verify it.

MODE 3

Computational experiments

Sweeps, searches and exact calculations that test conjectures and find closed forms.

05

A result only counts when it can be checked

That’s why the research loop is integrated directly with Maplesoft’s industry-standard Maple engine, which calculates answers exactly. Every finding is labeled by the strength of its evidence:

  • Proven · machine-checked

    Proved, and the proof verified by Lean.

  • Confirmed by exact calculation

    Checked exactly in Maple, not approximated numerically.

  • Supported, not yet proven

    Backed by evidence, and clearly marked as open.

06

For engineers and mathematicians

FOR ENGINEERS

Model the whole operating envelope

Primus builds and simulates system models in Modelica, the open standard across automotive, aerospace and energy. Instead of testing a handful of data points, it derives the model and sweeps the entire operating envelope, finding closed-form solutions that speed up production models.

FOR MATHEMATICIANS

A true research collaborator

Primus tests approaches, logs its reasoning including the paths that failed, and formally verifies what it finds, so you can see exactly what is proved and what is still open.

During the beta, Maplesoft is providing Maple access to Primus for Math users at no additional cost.

The limit on progress stops being who holds the tool. It becomes the quality of the ideas.
