Twenty years ago, cognitive psychologist Elizabeth Spelke took a strong position in an ongoing public debate. "There are no ...

Measured against that, the Kakeya conjecture – a problem stemming from a 1917 thought experiment by Japanese mathematician ...

While this might seem simple, the math is quite complicated ... Baek worked through the geometry of the shape and its ...

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced ...

But proof, strictly understood, is only half the story here. Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Kucharski relates, taught himself to derive Euclid’s proofs to give himself an argumentative edge in the ...

For example, the text said " A Harvard Professor Mocked Elon Musk" but then identified the professor as "Dr. Edward Kline, a 62-year-old calculus professor at Stanford." ...

StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson said the new S-two prover brings STARK technology to everyday devices, opening the door for real-world applications.

Evolution deniers are often asking for proof of evolution. Science, they are told, does not work on proof but on evidence. Now I’m not going to rehash all of that today, what I thought might be more ...

Geometry is what tells us the area of a circle and how big the Great Pyramids of Giza are, for example. Algebra: In algebra, expressions describe relationships between numbers.

Mathematicians Wrote a Proof for a 100-Year-Old Problem—and May Have Just Changed Geometry The work has been deemed “spectacular progress” by giants of the field.

A 125-page proof posted to arXiv may represent a huge breakthrough in geometric measure theory. This problem has implications in fields like encryption, computer science, and number theory.
