For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

Even if we mapped every genome, mathematics would still confront us with unending questions Dr Reyaz Ahmad “Mathematics is the only infinite human activity,” the legendary problem-poser Paul Erdős ...

Yesterday, I posted an article about a math video that showed how you can sum up an infinite series of numbers to get a result of, weirdly enough, -1/12. A lot of stuff happened after I posted it.

In 2019, mathematicians finally solved one of the hardest math problems—one that had stumped them for decades. It’s called a Diophantine Equation, and it’s sometimes known as the “summing of three ...

I did a Q&A this week at the website io9, and one of the questions was something I get all the time: How can you add up a series of infinitely many numbers and get a finite answer? This question has ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). In a breakthrough that disproves decades of conventional wisdom, two mathematicians have shown that two different variants of infinity are actually the ...

For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...
