 human intelligence and plays a crucial role in advancing education, science
 , and technology. This talk explores the development of language model syst
 ems that exhibit robust mathematical reasoning and facilitate scientific re
 asoning, marking a significant step toward general artificial intelligence.
  We introduce novel multi-modal and knowledge-intensive benchmarks designed
  to assess the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) and v
 ision-language models (VLMs) in real-world scenarios, including those invol
 ving visual data, tabular information, and scientific applications. The tal
 k highlights recent advancements in mathematical reasoning within visual co
 ntexts and addresses key unresolved challenges. Additionally, we present cu
 tting-edge retrieval and tool-augmented algorithms that significantly enhan
 ce LLM performance in mathematical reasoning tasks. Finally, we explore how
  agentic systems, leveraging test-time optimization and external tools, can
  further advance mathematical reasoning and scientific discovery.</span></p
