A century ago, the great mathematician David Hilbert posed a probing question in pure mathematics. A recent advance in optimization theory is bringing Hilbert's work into a world of self-driving

Researchers have developed a model that can recreate, with only a few parameters, the wing patterns of a large group of insects, shedding light on how these complex patterns form.

It’s very simple. Math looks like language. A funny language, I’ll admit. It’s dense, terse, and painstaking to read.

Breakthroughs in physics sometimes require an assist from the field of mathematics—and vice versa.

We can prove things in math, but does that mean they’re true?

A new approach to defining and designing systems is coming.

Prime numbers have intrigued, baffled, and amazed us for millennia.

Zeta values seem to connect distant geometric worlds. In a new proof, mathematicians finally explain why.

You know math better than you think you do.

Hot on the heels of the ground-breaking 'Sum-Of-Three-Cubes' solution for the number 33, a team led by the University of Bristol and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has solved the final piece of the famous 65-year-old maths puzzle with an answer for the most elusive number of all—42.

The National Museum of Mathematics is featuring an exhibit entitled "Math Unfolded: An Exhibit of Mathematical Origami Art." The exhibit illustrates the relationship between mathematics and art.

How do you prove something? What even is proof?

To the ancient discipline of number theory, Carl Friedrich Gauss brought a number of exceptional discoveries.

One of the first studies of fractals came from a surprising and weird phenomenon that occurs when you try to measure a coastline.

Was it a chance encounter when you met that special someone or was there some deeper reason for it? What about that strange dream…By Noson S. Yanofsky
