As the computer age dawned, he saw how the new technology could be harnessed to mathematics to solve problems in everything from designing weapons to predicting the weather. By Michael J.

Now, mathematicians have put the finishing touches on a story of dimensional weirdness that has been 65 years in the making. For many decades, researchers have wanted to know which dimensions can host ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² ...

For nearly 200 years, "higher-degree polynomial equations" resisted any general solution. An Australian mathematician proposes an unprecedented method, eliminating irrational numbers in favor of ...

As a result of the breakthrough, the mathematical world finally has proof that manifolds of Kervaire invariant one do exist in dimension 126, ending a decades-long mystery. The Kervaire invariant ...

While much has been said about his pastoral service and religious views, only a few know that Pope Leo XIV also has a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM ...

From 1988 to 1999, he held several key roles in Peru: Leo XIV earned a degree in mathematics from Villanova University in 1977 after attending the Minor Seminary of the Augustinian Fathers.

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² ...

Mathematicians love the certainty of proofs. This is how they verify that their intuition matches observable truth. This logical love of proofs is uniquely suited to opening up the black box of ...

We had to take both pure and applied mathematics courses, and I did not enjoy being made to study fluid mechanics and mathematical physics. In fact, the applied mathematics courses made me almost ...

Click here for part one and two. China’s investment in STEM is attracting top international mathematicians and helping to foster original research, according to Mok Ngaiming, chair of ...

They met through their mathematics studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Just a month after the wedding, however, Day – 51, a veteran high school math teacher, an elite level ...
