I mean geometry/trig have some of the simplest, most-straightforward, least ambiguous rulesets of any math. Why wouldn't a computer outperform a human?
From the article:
Geometry is a bit tricky. A lot of "obvious" facts about geometry are less obvious to prove from a given collection of axioms forming a model of geometry, because their "obviousness" stems from our natural facilities for understanding space and position. Sometimes, historically, things that are "obviously" true in geometry turn out to be false, or depend on unwritten assumptions, for complex reasons. It may be surprising in this light if current AI can beat humans' intuition plus logic using purely analytic tools.

Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
AlphaGo is a computer program that plays the board game Go. It was developed by the London-based DeepMind Technologies, an acquired subsidiary of Google (now Alphabet Inc. ). Subsequent versions of AlphaGo became increasingly powerful, including a version that competed under the name Master. After retiring from competitive play, AlphaGo Master was succeeded by an even more powerful version known as AlphaGo Zero, which was completely self-taught without learning from human games.
