VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New Orleans math whizzes Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson were recognized during Essence Festival — and gifted new tech by ...

As high school students, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson worked to find valid new proof for the 2,000-year-old theorem Two college freshmen who, during their final year of high school, found a new ...

When a top-tier mathematician announced in August that he had proved one of the greatest problems in mathematics, the claim was trumpeted in the New York Times, Nature, Science and the Boston Globe.

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 ...

Two teens say they’ve historically solved Pythagoras’ famous theorem by using trigonometry. New Orleans natives Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, who attend St. Mary’s Academy, presented their ...

This year’s Abel Prize, an annual lifetime achievement award for mathematics that is bestowed by the Norwegian Academy of ...

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 ...

Gerd Faltings proved a conjecture that had been unsolved for six decades, using connections between numbers and geometry.

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 ...

New computer tools have the potential to revolutionize the practice of mathematics by providing more-reliable proofs of mathematical results than have ever been possible in the history of humankind.
