For over two millennia, mathematicians agreed on one thing: you can’t use trigonometry to prove Pythagoras’ Theorem—because ...

Cannes: “Raw” break-out Ella Rumpf is solid in this savant-style drama about a math genius determined to prove an industry-shaking theorem, but tired tropes abound. The burnout associated with gifted ...

Pi Day (3/14) often comes with sweet treats; Square Root Day (4/4/16 or 5/5/25, for example) has a certain numerical rhyme.

The proof Wiles finally came up with (helped by Richard Taylor) was something Fermat would never have dreamed up. It tackled the theorem indirectly, by means of an enormous bridge that mathematicians ...

If you’re a hacker you may well have a passing interest in math, and if you have an interest in math you might like to hear ...

Cédric Villani’s new book describes the work that went into a mathematical proof of nonlinear Landau damping. If that sounds like Greek to you, have no worries. The subject of the book is not the math ...

(NEWSER) – An Oxford professor is now $700,000 richer for solving a 300-year-old math mystery, the Telegraph reports. In 1994, Andrew Wiles, 62, cracked Fermat's Last Theorem, which was put forth by ...
