The one source of truth is mathematics. Every statement is a pure logical deduction from foundational axioms, resulting in absolute certainty. Since Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, you’d be ...

Paul Erdős, the famously eccentric, peripatetic and prolific 20th-century mathematician, was fond of the idea that God has a celestial volume containing the perfect proof of every mathematical theorem ...

It’s the largest math proof. A supercomputer solved it in just 2 days. And it’s 200 terabytes. Yes, 200 terabytes. That’s the size of the file containing the computer-assisted proof for a mathematical ...

You think writing proofs for algebra during high school was hard? Think again. A trio of brilliant mathematicians just solved a decade-old puzzle and consequently produced the world's largest ...

If you thought the mathematical proofs you did in high school were long, you haven’t seen the newest one out of the University of Liverpool — computer scientists Alexei Lisitsa and Boris Konev came up ...

Computer-assisted of mathematical proofs are not new. For example, computers were used to confirm the so-called 'four color theorem.' In a short release, 'Proof by computer,' the American Mathematical ...

The longest math proof in the world has just been completed. It began in the 1970s and was worked on by 100 mathematicians. Take a look at the math equivalent of endurance running. The Rolf Schock ...

As he was brushing his teeth on the morning of July 17, 2014, Thomas Royen, a little-known retired German statistician, suddenly lit upon the proof of a famous conjecture at the intersection of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I examine an insightful AI research study ...

Turbulence is one of the least understood phenomena of the physical world. Long considered too hard to understand and predict mathematically, turbulence is the reason the Navier-Stokes equations, ...
