A Number Theorist Who Connects Math to Other Creative Pursuits | Quanta Magazine “There are many different pathways into mathematics,” said Jordan Ellenberg, a mathematician at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. “There is the stereotype that interest in math displays itself early. That is definitely not true in general. It’s not the universal story — but it is my st...

Solve Math Equations That Are Stubborn as a Goat If you’ve ever taken a math test, you’ve probably met a grazing goat. Usually it’s tied to a fence post or the side of some barn, left there by an absent-minded farmer to graze on whatever grass it can reach. When you meet a grazing goat, your job is to calculate the total area of the region i...

The Mysterious Math of Perfect Numbers | Quanta Magazine Enter the world of perfect numbers and explore the mystery mathematicians have spent thousands of years trying to solve.

New AI 'Ramanujan Machine' uncovers hidden patterns in numbers The new AI can generate novel math ideas in need of proof.

Will Computers Outsmart Mathematicians? Humans use computers to do gigantic calculations which would be impossible to do by hand – for example, weather prediction. But could an AI go beyond that and come up with a proof of a theorem which has stumped humankind?

New Quantum Algorithms Finally Crack Nonlinear Equations Two teams found different ways for quantum computers to process nonlinear systems by first disguising them as linear ones.

Undergraduate Math Student Pushes Frontier of Graph Theory At 21, Ashwin Sah has produced a body of work that senior mathematicians say is nearly unprecedented for a college student.
