Mathematicians have long grappled with the reality that some problems just don’t have solutions.
Emily Riehl is rewriting the foundations of higher category theory while also working to make mathematics more inclusive.
Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about.
While locked down due to COVID-19, Joshua Greene and Andrew Lobb figured out how to prove a version of the “rectangular peg problem.”
To distinguish between fundamentally different objects, mathematicians turn to invariants that encode the objects’ essential features.
It took Lisa Piccirillo less than a week to answer a long-standing question about a strange knot discovered over half a century ago by the legendary John Conway.
Modern mathematics relies on collaboration and travel. COVID-19 is making it increasingly difficult.
The legendary mathematician, who died on April 11, was curious, colorful and one of the greatest problem-solvers of his generation.
When 50 mathematicians spend a week in the woods, there’s no telling what will happen. And that’s the point.
