Largely unknown today, Bourbaki is likely the last mathematician to master nearly all aspects of the field. A consummate collaborator, he made fundamental contributions to important mathematical ...

From Aryabhata’s concept of zero and Euclid’s geometryto the principles that later powered modern computer science, mathematics has been shaped by thinkers across eras. This particular list focuses on ...

An institution has offered a $1 million prize to anyone who can solve a famous math problem that has puzzled mathematicians for more than a century. The Riemann hypothesis, first proposed by German ...

This page provides an overview of the remarkable work of Scott W. Williams, PhD, Emeritus Professor, UB Mathematics. Dr. Williams joined our faculty in 1971, as Assistant Professor of Mathematics. In ...

Nobel Laureate John Nash GS '50 sat in the fifth row of Taplin Auditorium yesterday afternoon. Andrew Wiles, the man who proved Fermat's Last Theorem 10 years ago, sat two rows closer. All told, more ...

Mathematicians just made a big leap forward on one of the field’s all-time favorite problems. Curves—squiggly lines through space, such as a comet’s trajectory or a stock market trend—are some of math ...

Tao: Today there are a lot of very tedious types of mathematics that we don’t like doing, so we look for clever ways to get ...
