Algebra and Number Theory are cornerstones of modern mathematics. At their heart, these fields study the underlying structures governing numbers and abstract entities, ranging from rings, fields, and ...

It’s not often that a mathematics textbook is described as “gorgeous” or “a work of practical art.” But An Illustrated Theory of Numbers by Martin Weissman, associate professor of mathematics at UC ...

Earlier this year, a trio of mathematicians decided to make lemons into lemonade — and ended up making major headway on a problem that mathematicians have been thinking about for centuries.

K-Theory and homotopy theory constitute pivotal branches of modern mathematics, forming a bridge between algebraic invariants and topological structures. This intersection has fostered the development ...

Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory. A mathematician and physicist working together found the connection, which they say is part of plotting ...
