TOME-Math Converts 2,118 Textbooks into 380K Structured Proof-Supervision Records

Researchers introduce TOME-Math, a large-scale corpus that turns 2,118 university-level mathematics textbooks into roughly 380K structured proof-supervision records while preserving chapter order, proposition-proof links, dependency references and source provenance. Fine-tuning on the full corpus lifts the unweighted mean score across held-out evaluations and established public benchmarks by 16.7 percentage points over the base model, and exceeds all three public instruction-data baselines in aggregate. The work also characterizes scaling patterns with supervision volume and source breadth, and explores curriculum learning across mathematical subjects. The authors state the corpus will be released to support further research on structured mathematical supervision.

It offers a concrete, provenance-preserving alternative to flattened problem-solution pairs and reports a measurable 16.7-point gain, giving researchers a reusable recipe for data organization in mathematical reasoning.

arXiv:2610.40394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mathematical supervision for language models is typically flattened into isolated problem-solution pairs, discarding the curricular organization and evidential structure of the original sources. We introduce TOME-Math (Textbook-Oriented Mathematical Evidence), a large-scale corpus that converts 2,118 textbooks spanning the core areas of university-level mathematics subjects into approximately 380K structured proof-supervision records while preserving chapter order, proposition-proof links, dependency references, and source provenance. Leveraging these structural signals, we explore curriculum learning across multiple mathematical subjects and characterize scaling patterns with supervision volume and source breadth. At full scale, fine-tuning on TOME-Math raises the unweighted mean score across our held-out evaluations and established public benchmarks by 16.7 percentage points over the base model, while exceeding all three public instruction-data baselines evaluated in aggregate. Our findings highlight structured textbooks as both a scalable source of mathematical supervision and an empirical framework for studying the impact of data organization on mathematical reasoning. We will release the corpus to facilitate further research on structured mathematical supervision.
