The artificial intelligence (AI) program DeepMind has gotten closer to proving a math conjecture that's bedeviled mathematicians for decades and revealed another new conjecture that may unravel how ...

In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation ...

Meta's work made headlines and raised a possibility once considered pure fantasy: that AI could soon outperform the world's best mathematicians by cracking math's marquee "unsolvable" problems en ...

Mathematics continues to evolve rapidly and shapes everything from artificial intelligence to climate modelling. Many modern mathematicians have gained global recognition for expanding theoretical ...

From Aryabhata’s concept of zero and Euclid’s geometryto the principles that later powered modern computer science, mathematics has been shaped by thinkers across eras. For upcoming profiles on famous ...

Mathematicians explore ideas by proposing conjectures and proving them with theorems. For centuries, they built these proofs line by careful line, and most math researchers still work like that today.

India is the homeland of many greatest Mathematicians but Srinivasa Ramanujan is someone who remains one of the most ...

The National Science Foundation awarded two University of Dayton mathematicians nearly $275,000 to research the building blocks of biological systems and the geometry of four-dimensional spaces. Both ...

In pure mathematics, very occasionally, breakthroughs arrive like bolts from the blue – the result of such inspired feats of reasoning and creativity that they seem to push the very bounds of ...

Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...

Mathematics is traditionally a solitary science. In 1986 Andrew Wiles withdrew to his study for seven years to prove Fermat’s theorem. The resulting proofs are often difficult for colleagues to ...
