For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

After cracking the 'sum of cubes' puzzle for 42, mathematicians discover a new solution for 3. What do you do after solving the answer to life, the universe, and everything? If you're mathematicians ...

Yesterday, I posted an article about a math video that showed how you can sum up an infinite series of numbers to get a result of, weirdly enough, -1/12. A lot of stuff happened after I posted it.

I did a Q&A this week at the website io9, and one of the questions was something I get all the time: How can you add up a series of infinitely many numbers and get a finite answer? This question has ...

Jennifer McLoud-Mann had almost come to believe that her last two years of work had been for naught. "It had gotten to the point, where we hadn't found anything," she said. "And I was starting to ...

Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...
