The field of Reverse Mathematics explores the minimal axiomatic frameworks necessary to prove classical theorems, seeking to elucidate the logical foundations of mathematics. In parallel, ...

Numerical and Computational Mathematics is a discipline dedicated to the development and analysis of algorithms that provide approximate solutions to mathematical problems too complex for exact ...

“The parentheses feel artificial.” The octonions’ seemingly unphysical nonassociativity has crippled many physicists’ efforts to exploit them, but Baez explained that their peculiar math has also ...

Measuring coastlines isn’t as simple as you might think. This video unpacks the coastline paradox, where natural irregularities and scaling make exact measurements impossible. See how math and nature ...

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our behavior ...

These are flowers grown from a museum, where the colors, textures, and shapes of exhibitions guided each petal, stem, and branch. British designer Daniel Brown has spent a decade creating these ...
