In a testament to the crows’ intelligence (or perhaps just the deliciousness of mealworms), the birds all caught on impressively quickly. But for the test proper, the task would become a little more ...

Crows can recognize geometric patterns, suggesting that humans aren't unique in understanding shape structure.

That’s exactly what happened in 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Sorbonne University in Paris.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, ...

A 125-page proof posted to arXiv may represent a huge breakthrough in geometric measure theory. This problem has implications ...

When pigeons outnumber pigeonholes, some birds must double up. This obvious statement — and its inverse — have deep ...

By solving part of the Langlands program, a mathematical proof that was long thought to be unachievable, Dennis Gaitsgory ...

Monash University researchers have extended Descartes’ Circle Theorem by finding a general equation for any number of tangent ...

Those examples only scratch the surface of how AI might reshape math instruction in the near future. But even as the use of this technology continues to expand, a recent survey by the EdWeek ...

Estonia, for example, is introducing a new law that makes it mandatory for all new office and apartment blocks of a certain size to include bunkers or bomb shelters. . Tallinn also just announced ...

As that comment highlights, evidence is often contested and proof elusive ... even logic can’t deliver absolute truth: Riemannian geometry torpedoes our everyday Euclidian intuitions about ...

Quasiregular mappings investigate covering questions in quasiconformal geometry. A classic example of such questions is the following result based on the uniformization theorem: the only Riemann ...
