A type of chaos found in everything from prime numbers to turbulence can unify a pair of unrelated ideas, revealing a ...

Mathematicians have discovered a new infinity, one that is so strange that it could change how we understand logic, numbers ...

Hard as it may be to imagine, there’s a newly defined geometric shape on the books. Based on recent calculations, mathematicians have described a new classification they now call a “soft cell.” In its ...

Years ago, an audacious Fields medalist outlined a sweeping program that, he claimed, could be used to resolve a major ...

Is there an infinity of infinities? The question sounds almost absurd, like a child’s riddle meant to twist your brain into ...

On a weekend in mid-May, a clandestine mathematical conclave convened. Thirty of the world’s most renowned mathematicians traveled to Berkeley, Calif., with some coming from as far away as the U.K.

Mathematicians have finally solved a geometry problem that has puzzled the field for decades. By wiggling a needle around while spinning it, you can minimize the amount of space it moves through, ...

The lectures to be presented as part of the series on the Free Will Theorem are: • March 23-- "Free Will and Determinism in Science and Philosophy" • March 30-- "The Paradox of Kochen and Specker" • ...
