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 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.

In a culture driven by outrage and constant alerts, play may be the simplest way to reclaim focus, resilience, and human ...

👉 Learn how to find the domain of rational functions with a radical numerator. Recall that the domain of a function is the set of possible input values (x-values) of the function. For a rational ...

In a recent video, crypto analyst Edo Farina floats the idea that XRP could evolve from “just another cryptocurrency” into the hidden plumbing of a new global financial system — one that might even be ...

This is One Thing, a column with tips on how to live. I talk to my daughter about the “good old days” when we were forced to do everything without our cellphones, which, although helpful in myriad ...

Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas − among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal kingdom – function permanently without it. This may be relevant in future ...

Navigating the world of radical functions can feel like exploring a dense forest. You're armed with basic arithmetic, yet suddenly confronted with indices, radicands, and the perplexing challenge of ...
