Largely unknown today, Bourbaki is likely the last mathematician to master nearly all aspects of the field. A consummate collaborator, he made fundamental contributions to important mathematical ...

Why do we insist that our god be infinite? Why would being bound in a nutshell world give us bad dreams? Why do we fear the cloister more than the agora? Longing and love have always “the expansion of ...

What just happened? A group of mathematicians created a "new" polygon previously known to exist only in theory. It's a 13-sided shape that they dubbed "the hat," even though it only vaguely resembles ...

Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...

More than a century after publishing major papers in theoretical mathematics, German-born Emmy Noether continues to challenge ...

An institution has offered a $1 million prize to anyone who can solve a famous math problem that has puzzled mathematicians for more than a century. The Riemann hypothesis, first proposed by German ...

This page provides an overview of the remarkable work of Scott W. Williams, PhD, Emeritus Professor, UB Mathematics. Dr. Williams joined our faculty in 1971, as Assistant Professor of Mathematics. In ...

Tao was asked about the impact of AI on the field of math, because he’d recently posted some scathing comments about OpenAI’s latest and supposedly greatest GPT o1 model. Touted as the first model ...

Tao: Today there are a lot of very tedious types of mathematics that we don’t like doing, so we look for clever ways to get ...

From Aryabhata’s concept of zero and Euclid’s geometryto the principles that later powered modern computer science, mathematics has been shaped by thinkers across eras. This particular list focuses on ...
