I don't see where it doesn't say he is, I feel its implied. Another source, proves me right? https://www.newscientist.com/article/2511954-amateur-mathema... | ||||||||

It's implied by "no advanced mathematics training?" The article you linked (thanks for the unpaywalled link, by the way) describes him only as an amateur mathematician, but describes Barreto as a math student. If they were both math students, I feel it would say so? Or perhaps you're arguing it's implicit in him having solved the problem? If so, you're just assuming your conclusion. "AI didn't prove it by itself; Price was a mathematician. Well, he must have been a mathematician to be able to prove it!" | ||||||||
