Thanks to stochastics—an area of mathematics which deals with probabilities—this is even possible when randomness plays a role in these processes. Something researchers have been working on ...

As part of a project to make mathematics machine-readable, mathematicians have discovered an error in an important proof. Thankfully there was a fix, but the incident highlights the potential for othe ...

the course Mathematical Methods (MA100), or the course Quantitative Methods (Mathematics) (MA107). The course is an introduction to the use of formal definitions and proofs in mathematics, and to ...

They will also learn how to convey mathematical ideas and write proofs using precise language, correct logic, and other important elements.

The proof has to prove that no solutions exist ... Had she been born into high society, her study of mathematics might have been more acceptable. Although aristocratic women were not actively ...

Andrew Wiles devoted much of his entire career to proving Fermat's Last Theorem, the world's most famous mathematical problem. In 1993, he made front-page headlines when he announced a proof of ...

A mathematical breakthrough made this year is so complex that other mathematicians struggled to understand it, but it has already led to progress in other areas of maths. In May, Sam Raskin at ...
