In the last episode of my column in Notices of the American Mathematical Society, we looked at a particle moving in an attractive central force whose strength is proportional to the inverse cube of ...

Group theory isn’t just abstract math—it’s the hidden framework behind symmetry, structure, and transformation in everything from cryptography to quantum physics. It connects elegant patterns to ...

We’ve all done it. You pull up your vector editing tool, draw a perfect circle, another one inside the first one, cut the second one out, align the whole thing to the editor’s on-screen grid – so ...

The Silicon Valley-funded science awards revealed recipients in fundamental physics, life sciences and mathematics categories.

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

A universal artificial intelligence (AI) system developed by a Chinese research team has become the world's first to solve nearly all Olympic-level geometry questions from the past 25 years within a ...
