Computers can help ensure that mathematical proofs are correct, but translating traditional maths into a machine-readable ...

The Langlands programme has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up ...

Algebraic proof – Higher tier. It is often helpful to use algebraic expressions to represent different types of numbers. 2𝑛, 6 times 𝑛 add 1, and 4𝑛 add 2 are all even algebraic ...

We do not want many ‘variations’ in the proof of a mathematical theorem: ‘enumeration of cases’, indeed, is one of the duller forms of mathematical argument. A mathematical proof should ...

A mathematical proof is irrefutably true, a manifestation of pure logic. But an increasing number of mathematical proofs are now impossible to verify with absolute certainty, according to experts ...

At an American Mathematical Society meeting, high school students presented a proof of the Pythagorean theorem that used trigonometry—an approach that some once considered impossible ...

According to a local news station WWL, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson—two high schoolers from St. Mary’s Academy—presented a new proof to the American Mathematical Society’s Annual ...
