For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

Yesterday, I posted an article about a math video that showed how you can sum up an infinite series of numbers to get a result of, weirdly enough, -1/12. A lot of stuff happened after I posted it.

Even if we mapped every genome, mathematics would still confront us with unending questions Dr Reyaz Ahmad “Mathematics is the only infinite human activity,” the legendary problem-poser Paul Erdős ...

I did a Q&A this week at the website io9, and one of the questions was something I get all the time: How can you add up a series of infinitely many numbers and get a finite answer? This question has ...

In 2019, mathematicians finally solved one of the hardest math problems—one that had stumped them for decades. It’s called a Diophantine Equation, and it’s sometimes known as the “summing of three ...
