Largely unknown today, Bourbaki is likely the last mathematician to master nearly all aspects of the field. A consummate collaborator, he made fundamental contributions to important mathematical ...

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 ...

Large language models struggle to solve research-level math questions. It takes a human to assess just how poorly they perform.

Mathematicians explore ideas by proposing conjectures and proving them with theorems. For centuries, they built these proofs line by careful line, and most math researchers still work like that today.

Funeral services were held here today for Prof. Issey Schur, exiled German Jewish mathematician, who died last week at the age of 66. Prof. M. Fekete, dean of the Hebrew University’s science faculty, ...
