Diophantus of Alexandria revolutionized algebra with Arithmetica, pioneering symbolic notation and abstract number theory.

According to his new approach detailed in The American Mathematical Monthly, there’s a much more elegant approach to high order polynomials—all you need to do is get rid of pesky notions like ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge – solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, ...

Hilbert's sixth problem was one of the loftiest. He called for "axiomatizing" physics, or determining the bare minimum of mathematical assumptions behind all its theories. Broadly construed ...

We need something more robust and sophisticated than testing. We need mathematical proof. Testing is akin to checking each link in a chain to make sure they’re strong. This may work well for a ...

And so we’ve written a detailed paper on parallax released on our website so that the public can literally check our math on this analysis,” Kosloski said. Math, citizen science and the ...

Under the revised directive, students pursuing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) pathway will continue to study pure mathematics. Meanwhile, learners in the Arts and ...

To think that one dumpy 53-year-old nerd is called by fate to stem the demographic tide of humankind is … bad math, to say the least. Suppose Musk and his fantasy army of surrogates begin ...

The government has made an about-turn and announced that all learners in senior school will learn mathematics regardless of the pathway they choose to pursue. Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba ...

A day after clashing with his Democratic rival in a televised debate, Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey on Wednesday doubled down on his claim that he’s “delivered” 1,600 units of affordable ...

Mathematicians have been attempting to understanding patterns in the primes for centuries. In the 1740s, Christian Goldbach, a Prussian mathematician, mailed the preeminent mathematician of the era, ...
