Mathematics Expert with Python - Freelance AI Trainer

Please submit your resume in English and indicate your level of English.

About Mindrift

Mindrift platform collaborates with leading AI companies developing some of the world’s most advanced and groundbreaking models. We connect domain experts with projects that push the boundaries of what AI can learn, understand, and create.

About the project

We’re inviting experienced mathematicians to design computationally intensive problems that evaluate and enhance AI reasoning in science and engineering contexts. Your work will help train models to handle complex, multi-step challenges that mirror real-world research and analytical workflows. This is a project-based freelance opportunity.

What you'll do

• Design original computational mathematics problems that simulate real mathematical research workflows.
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using numpy, scipy, sympy).
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks).
• Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in areas like number theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and numerical analysis.
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from mathematical practice.
• Verify solutions using Python with standard mathematical libraries.
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

Problem domains (Examples)

• Number Theory: Prime factorization, Diophantine equations, modular arithmetic, cryptographic computations.
• Combinatorics: Enumerations, partitions, generating functions, combinatorial optimization.
• Graph Theory: Network analysis, path finding, graph coloring, spanning trees.
• Numerical Analysis: Root finding, numerical integration, differential equations, matrix computations.
• Discrete Mathematics: Recurrence relations, algorithmic complexity, discrete optimization.
• Algebra: Polynomial computations, group theory calculations, matrix decompositions.
