The number 1729 may look ordinary, but a casual remark by Srinivasa Ramanujan turned it into a mathematical legend. (AI-generated image) In 1919, the legendary British mathematician GH Hardy visited ...

Stressing that India’s Viksit Bharat goal cannot be achieved if we continue to teach colonial history to our children, celebrated mathematician Manjul Bhargava said it is essential to teach them the ...

Add zero and one to get one, one and one to get two, one and two to get three, two and three to get five. Most of us know this—that each successive number is the sum of the two numbers that came ...

Abstract: The story behind the Euclidean algorithm and its relationship to the solution of the Diophantine equation is examined in this article. The Euclidean algorithm appears in Proposition 2 in ...

Mathematicians sometimes think of their research as a garden and unsolved problems as seeds waiting to sprout. Some problems are analogous to tulip bulbs. As mathematicians work to solve them, they ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The world of mathematics is full of unreachable corners, where unsolvable problems live. Now, yet another has been exposed. In 1900, the ...

The world of mathematics is full of unreachable corners, where unsolvable problems live. Now, yet another has been exposed. In 1900, the eminent mathematician David Hilbert announced a list of 23 key ...

All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

The coupling constants of fixed points in the ϵ expansion at one loop are known to satisfy a quadratic bound due to Rychkov and Stergiou. We refer to fixed points that saturate this bound as extremal ...

Kinematics Equation: The branch of physics that defines motion concerning space and time, ignoring the cause of that motion, is known as Kinematics. Kinematics equations are a set of formulas used in ...
