Mathematics and computing is the study and analysis of abstract concepts, such as numbers and patterns. Mathematics is the language of choice for scientifically describing and modelling the ...

The Department of Mathematics consists of the Mathematical Institute and the Freudenthal Institute. Mathematical research and academic education become one within the Mathematical Institute. The ...

WERE this book only for the mathematician it would be no book for me; but it is a great deal more. It is for all who care for the historical aspect of science; it is for all lovers of Greek ...

Acclaimed Chinese-American mathematician Huaxin Lin has returned to China for a full-time research position in Shanghai after nearly four decades in the United States. The 69-year-old joined the ...

Mathematicians sometimes think of their research as a garden and unsolved problems as seeds waiting to sprout. Some problems are analogous to tulip bulbs. As mathematicians work to solve them ...

A long-standing geometric mystery dating back to the 17th century has finally been solved by Monash University mathematicians, shedding new light on an equation first written by philosopher and ...

William “Bill” Browder, an emeritus professor of mathematics, died in early February at the age of 91. He died at home, excited about a new math idea he’d just had, held in his wife’s arms. “Bill ...

While a single answer still eludes us, mathematicians were at least able to figure out the upper and lower limits of the anime superpermutation. Spoiler alert: that would be a ton of binge-watching.

Chinese mathematician Wang Hong has solved an “infamous” geometry problem called the Kakeya conjecture within three dimensions. It is considered a breakthrough that could have implications for ...

And as it turns out, this mathematical area holds many puzzles: to this day, mathematicians are still unable to fully answer the problem that the 4chan user had posed. If you're enjoying this ...

It's now a time-honoured tradition on the eve of the Academy Awards that we ask a film critic and mathematician to pull out their crystal balls and tea leaves and tell us who they think will take ...
