Years ago, an audacious Fields medalist outlined a sweeping program that, he claimed, could be used to resolve a major problem in algebraic geometry. Other mathematicians had their doubts. Now he says ...

Astronauts in space have uncovered a new geometric shape with no sharp corners that is impossible to create on Earth.Earlier this year, Hungarian astronauts and mission specialist Tibor Kapu performed ...

Dive into one of the most wicked geometry problems and see it explained step by step in a clear, intuitive way. This lesson ...

Sam Raskin has wrapped his head around a math problem so complex it took five academic studies — and more than 900 pages — to solve. The results are a sweeping, game-changing math proof that was ...

DeepMind said its AlphaGeometry AI model was able to solve complex geometry problems at a level comparable to an Olympiad gold-medalist, showcasing the ability of AI models to use reasoning skills ...

Ananyo Bhattacharya is chief science writer at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the author of The Man from the Future: The Visionary Ideas of John von Neumann. One of the biggest ...

I didn’t find math particularly exciting when I was in high school. To be honest, I only studied it when I went to university because it initially seemed quite easy to me. But in my very first math ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...

Computer-powered math has revolutionized everything from manufacturing to medical care. But while on-demand taxi service is optimized by an algorithm, and some 401(k)s are filled with stocks chosen by ...
