Mathematicians have illuminated what sets of points can look like if the distances between them are all whole numbers. The change of plans came on a road trip. On a beautiful day last April, the ...

A visual representation of Ramsey theorem for five nodes on a graph. Here, no triangle has edges that are all the same color, indicating no groups of three that are either all 'friends' or all ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." A 125-page proof posted to arXiv may represent a huge breakthrough in geometric measure theory. This ...

Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...

A show for all mathematicians and anyone who appreciates learning about waves! Imagine playing in the big surf with time honored mathematicians as Pythagoras or Maxwell. CU Mathematics Professor Mark ...

In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation ...

University of Colorado provides funding as a member of The Conversation US. Largely unknown today, Bourbaki is likely the last mathematician to master nearly all aspects of the field. A consummate ...

A group of Boston-based mathematicians calling themselves the Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group are using their math superpowers to fight back against gerrymandering. They're holding a public ...

The bounds on Ramsey numbers, which describe relationships between nodes in a network, have been narrowed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

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. How much ...
