A team of four prominent mathematicians, including two Fields medalists, proved a conjecture described as a “holy grail of additive combinatorics.” Within a month, a loose collaboration verified it ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

Middle school is often a time of change for students. New friends, new schools, and a time of physical growth during the sticky subject of puberty. It's also a critical period during another sticky ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

UC San Diego is trying to solve a math problem. The university said a growing number of students are starting their freshman year lacking high school math proficiency. KPBS reporter Jacob Aere says ...
