A collaboration of a mathematician and a physicist has shown that the modular forms associated with elliptic curves with complex multiplications are expressed in terms of observables in superstring ...

Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory. A mathematician and physicist working together found the connection, which they say is part of plotting ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a ...

22 digits. The reason I remember this is because in 7th grade, my math teacher had a banner that circled the entire room with pi to a great many digits on it. Since I was bored a large portion of the ...

I have two numbers stored as strings, both 12 digits long. How can I compare the two to see which one is greater? I can't use atoi to convert to an int because an int is too small to store such a ...
