Acclaimed Chinese-American mathematician Huaxin Lin has returned to China for a full-time research position in Shanghai after nearly four decades in the United States. The 69-year-old joined the ...

The next Ramanujan of AI will not emerge from research that mimics the West but from minds that rethink intelligence with ...

Mathematicians sometimes think of their research as a garden and unsolved problems as seeds waiting to sprout. Some problems are analogous to tulip bulbs. As mathematicians work to solve them ...

A long-standing geometric mystery dating back to the 17th century has finally been solved by Monash University mathematicians, shedding new light on an equation first written by philosopher and ...

By that criterion, Bhaskara’s problem exercises excite a real passion for mathematics. Who, but one with an adamantine heart, can resist the call of a verse such as this: “Whilst making love a ...

William “Bill” Browder, an emeritus professor of mathematics, died in early February at the age of 91. He died at home, excited about a new math idea he’d just had, held in his wife’s arms. “Bill ...

While a single answer still eludes us, mathematicians were at least able to figure out the upper and lower limits of the anime superpermutation. Spoiler alert: that would be a ton of binge-watching.

Chinese mathematician Wang Hong has solved an “infamous” geometry problem called the Kakeya conjecture within three dimensions. It is considered a breakthrough that could have implications for ...

And as it turns out, this mathematical area holds many puzzles: to this day, mathematicians are still unable to fully answer the problem that the 4chan user had posed. If you're enjoying this ...

But they’re also important to understand, because such surfaces are ubiquitous in mathematics and even string theory. Mirzakhani was an influential cartographer of the hyperbolic universe. While still ...
