The quest to make mathematics rigorous has a long and spotty history — one mathematicians can learn from as they push to ...

The Langlands program has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new worlds for them to explore One of the biggest stories in science has been ...

But now, two mathematician friends have used their quarantine time to crack a variation of the age-old geometry problem. They analyzed a set of loopy shapes called smooth, continuous curves to prove ...

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 ...

For centuries, the Pythagorean Theorem has occupied a unique position in mathematics: both elementary and profound. Its equation, a² + b² = c², is taught early and used widely, yet its implications ...
