This year’s Abel prize, an annual mathematics lifetime-achievement award, bestowed by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and modeled on the Nobel Prize, has been given to Gerd Faltings, a ...

Peter Badge. Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges between them is notoriously difficult. Today, the Norwegian ...

Gerd Faltings, a number theorist at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany, has won the 2026 Abel Prize, ...

Gerd Faltings shocked mathematicians around the world for his 1983 proof of the Mordell conjecture, which brought together ...

Gerd Faltings proved a conjecture that had been unsolved for six decades, using connections between numbers and geometry.

Susan Gilkerson, a math teacher and school bus driver, stood before a South Dakota education board and issued a warning. This story also appeared in Chalkbeat and South Dakota Searchlight The proposed ...

Over the weekend, user @BholanathDutta shared the equation that looked relatively simple to his thousands of followers, until ...

Major reforms and inventions often begin with a line of mathematics. For students, equations can look abstract on a classroom board. Yet some of them reorganised science, engineering and economics.

Brain teasers are short puzzles designed in such a way that they encourage logical thinking. These puzzles surely appear very simple at first but they have many twists. There are many types of brain ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Math isn’t just assignments and deadlines – it can be playful, creative and enjoyable as a puzzle or a game. That’s the spirit of what University of Virginia School of Data Science master’s student ...
