One of the curious properties of mathematics is its beauty. But exactly what mathematicians mean by beauty is hard to capture. Perhaps the most famous example is Euler’s relation, e iπ + 1 = 0, which ...

Machine-learning algorithms find and apply patterns in data. And they pretty much run the world. Machine-learning algorithms are responsible for the vast majority of the artificial intelligence ...

A number theorist with programming prowess has found a solution to 33 = x³ + y³ + z³, a much-studied equation that went unsolved for 64 years. Now, Andrew Booker, a mathematician at the University of ...
