Peter Badge. Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges between them is notoriously difficult. Today, the Norwegian ...

Gerd Faltings shocked mathematicians around the world for his 1983 proof of the Mordell conjecture, which brought together ...

Gerd Faltings proved a conjecture that had been unsolved for six decades, using connections between numbers and geometry.

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, ...

Observations show the universe appears flat, yet its true size and global shape beyond the observable horizon may remain forever unknown.

Learn about the geometric mean of numbers. The geometric mean of n numbers is the nth root of the product of the numbers. To find the geometric mean of n numbers, we first multiply the numbers and ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

Thousands of pupils all over Surrey picked up their GCSE results today (August 21). Just one week after their peers got their A-level grades, it was now the turn of Year 11 pupils to find out how they ...

In a digital era plagued by growing privacy concerns and eroding institutional trust, the power to prove something without disclosing sensitive data is not merely an academic exercise—it's a ...
