Gerd Faltings proved a conjecture that had been unsolved for six decades, using connections between numbers and geometry.

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New Orleans math whizzes Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson were recognized during Essence Festival — and gifted new tech by ...

Gerd Faltings shocked mathematicians around the world for his 1983 proof of the Mordell conjecture, which brought together ...

This year’s Abel prize, an annual mathematics lifetime-achievement award, bestowed by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and modeled on the Nobel Prize, has been given to Gerd Faltings, a ...

Artificial intelligence has formally verified the prizewinning proof that solved the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, a result closely tied to Maryna Viazovska’s Fields Medal. The ...

Two teens say they’ve historically solved Pythagoras’ famous theorem by using trigonometry. New Orleans natives Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, who attend St. Mary’s Academy, presented their ...

When a top-tier mathematician announced in August that he had proved one of the greatest problems in mathematics, the claim was trumpeted in the New York Times, Nature, Science and the Boston Globe.

Computer-assisted of mathematical proofs are not new. For example, computers were used to confirm the so-called 'four color theorem.' In a short release, 'Proof by computer,' the American Mathematical ...

The one source of truth is mathematics. Every statement is a pure logical deduction from foundational axioms, resulting in absolute certainty. Since Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, you’d be ...

Paul Erdős, the famously eccentric, peripatetic and prolific 20th-century mathematician, was fond of the idea that God has a celestial volume containing the perfect proof of every mathematical theorem ...
