Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof system scored at a silver-medal level when tested against the 2024 International Mathematical ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right?

Why do some melodies feel instantly right, balanced, memorable and satisfying, even if you have never heard them before? New research from the University of Waterloo suggests that more than creativity ...

There are no known examples so far, but mathematicians are hopeful. Mathematicians have revealed a new category of “digitally delicate” prime numbers. These infinitely long primes turn back to ...

UC Berkeley math professor Nikhil Srivastava met with researchers on a mission to create a new way of assessing the mathematical capabilities of AI.

This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to modern algebraic number theory, with a special emphasis on class field theory. Drawing from courses and lectures delivered in seven countries, ...

Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than ...

Chandigarh: The International Conference on Algebra and Number Theory (ICANT-2025) concluded Thursday at the department of Mathematics, Panjab University. It was organised as part of the centenary ...

Some books are mathematically rigorous (e.g. Foundations of Cryptography, Modern Cryptography, Probabilistic Proofs and Pseudorandomness), others more applied (e.g. Applied Cryptography, Serious ...

Diophantus, who likely inherited foundational ideas from Thymaridas of Paros, laid fundamental work for algebra by exploring solutions to linear equations that later influenced modern mathematics.
