For ages, countless mathematicians have advanced mathematics through proofs. This is because proof is a key tool for developing new theories and solving problems. That’s why a discussion about proofs ...

What makes a proof stronger than a guess? What does evidence look like in the realm of mathematical abstraction? Hear the mathematician Melanie Matchett Wood explain how probability helps to guide ...

It might come as a surprise to some people that this prediction hasn’t already come to pass. Given that mathematics is a subject of logic and precision, it would seem to be perfect territory for a ...

If you thought the mathematical proofs you did in high school were long, you haven’t seen the newest one out of the University of Liverpool — computer scientists Alexei Lisitsa and Boris Konev came up ...

It’s the largest math proof. A supercomputer solved it in just 2 days. And it’s 200 terabytes. Yes, 200 terabytes. That’s the size of the file containing the computer-assisted proof for a mathematical ...

The one source of truth is mathematics. Every statement is a pure logical deduction from foundational axioms, resulting in absolute certainty. Since Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, you’d be ...

Discover what is Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP), its privacy-first tech, fair presale auction model & Proof Pods. Here’s how the ...

Last June 23 marked the 25th anniversary of the electrifying announcement by Andrew Wiles that he had proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, solving a 350-year-old problem, the most famous in mathematics. The ...

Let us assume what most mathematical readers would take for granted anyway: There are mathematical objects such as numbers and functions and there are objective facts about these objects, such as 3 < ...

You think writing proofs for algebra during high school was hard? Think again. A trio of brilliant mathematicians just solved a decade-old puzzle and consequently produced the world's largest ...
