Behold Modular Forms, the ‘Fifth Fundamental Operation’ of Math
Modular forms are one of the most beautiful and mysterious objects in mathematics. What are they?
Why Mathematical Proof Is a Social Compact
Number theorist Andrew Granville on what mathematics really is — and why objectivity is never quite within reach.
The Lawlessness of Large Numbers
Mathematicians can often figure out what happens as quantities grow infinitely large. What about when they are just a little big?
Qué es la combinatoria y cómo consigue que las campanas nunca suenen en el mismo orden
Cómo resolver el problema para que los clientes de un hotel ocupen todas las habitaciones sin repetir ninguna
Mathematicians Discover Novel Way to Predict Structure in Graphs
Mathematicians probe the limits of randomness in new work estimating quantities called Ramsey numbers.
Los distintos tamaños del infinito
Desde que la humanidad ha mirado las estrellas, el concepto de infinito ha penetrado con fuerza en nuestras mentes. Lo que está más allá de nuestra imaginación, aquello que es inalcanzable e inabarcable… Todo ello, y mucho más, es en realidad el infinito.
Una forma alternativa de multiplicar matrices
Un producto de matrices, diferente al que estudiamos en el colegio, resulta crucial en diversas áreas de las matemáticas y en la solución de algunas conjeturas
Why Mathematicians Re-Prove What They Already Know
It’s been known for thousands of years that the primes go on forever, but new proofs give fresh insights into how theorems depend on one another.
A New Kind of Symmetry Shakes Up Physics
So-called “higher symmetries” are illuminating everything from particle decays to the behavior of complex quantum systems.
Mathematicians Find Hidden Structure in a Common Type of Space
In 50 years of searching, mathematicians found only one example of a “subspace design” that fit their criteria. A new proof reveals that there are infinitely more out there.
