I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

At 25, Kurt Gödel proved there can never be a mathematical “theory of everything.” Columnist Natalie Wolchover explores the implications. In 1931, by turning logic on itself, Kurt Gödel proved a pair ...

When calculating angles using a circle theorem, always state which theorem applies. It may not be possible to calculate the missing angle immediately. It may be necessary to calculate another angle ...

Scientists have for the first time used artificial intelligence to suggest and prove new mathematical theorems. The potential breakthrough came in a collaboration between mathematicians who specialise ...

Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson, who surprised the math world when they produced innovative solutions to a 2,000-year-old puzzle, wowed the math world again when they presented several new ways of ...

You don’t need a human brain to do maths — even artificial intelligence can write airtight proofs of mathematical theorems. An AI created by a team at Google has proven more than 1200 mathematical ...

Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul. Work by Ingres. It was during this period that he came into contact with the theorems. Credit: Public domain / Wikimedia Commons His political stance allowed him to ...

As I work proofs with my Calculus and Higher Geometries students, I often run across the Greek symbol that, in math, means “there exists." This might show up, for example, in statements such as “there ...
