The Collatz Conjecture is a deceptively simple math problem. It has only two rules. First, pick any number. If it's even, divide it by two. If it's odd, multiply it by three and add one. This will ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology doctoral student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, who studies computing ...

Math proofs can go through many iterations and attempts before they're correct. The abc conjecture dates to the 1980s and is an extension of Fermat's last theorem.

When she was just 17 years old, Hannah Cairo disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, breaking a four-decade-old mathematical assumption ...

This makes it very improbable that a counter-example to the conjecture exists, but the full problem remains open. Mathematical prodigy ...

The beginnings of a conjecture It’s a peculiar truth of mathematics that the easier a problem looks on paper, the harder it often turns out to be. Take Fermat’s Last Theorem, for example ...

Caroline Klivans, senior lecturer in applied mathematics and computer science, achieved every student’s dream and proved her former advisor wrong. The Partitionability Conjecture was postulated by ...

The artificial intelligence (AI) program DeepMind has gotten closer to proving a math conjecture that's bedeviled mathematicians for decades and revealed another new conjecture that may unravel ...

The Mizohata–Takeuchi conjecture is about identifying when this breakdown happens, especially when the underlying math is not smooth enough.
