India’s history is a tapestry woven with the rise and fall of empires, each leaving behind cities that once pulsed with power ...

These ideas will be well known to Pope Leo XIV since before his life in the church, he trained as a mathematician. Leo’s trajectory is probably no coincidence since there is a connection between ...

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 ...

For centuries, mathematicians accepted this as simply an inherent challenge to their work, but not Norman Wildberger. According to his new approach detailed in The American Mathematical Monthly ...

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 ...

Mathematics is the only language spoken by all living things. This way of understanding the world practically explains everything known so far, and its infinitude means that, very occasionally ...

can be converted into a sphere through “surgery”, a concept introduced by American mathematician John Milnor in 1950. If it can be converted into a sphere, the invariant evaluates to zero.

Mathematicians have long believed that a general solution for these equations in terms of square or cube roots, known as radicals, was impossible. That belief dates back to 1832, when French ...

In March mathematicians Yu Deng of the University of Chicago and Zaher Hani and Xiao Ma of the University of Michigan posted a new paper to the preprint server arXiv.org that claims to have ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra’s oldest challenge – solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to ...
