It's been more than 20 years since Rubik's Cube, the maddening, multicolored brainchild of a Hungarian architect teacher, hit the American market full force. Now, two decades after the cube craze ...

Group theory serves as a fundamental language for describing symmetry in both mathematics and physics. Finite groups, defined by their limited number of elements, are central to modern algebra and ...

Research in group theory has long embraced equations as a means to elucidate the structure and behaviour of groups. In particular, Diophantine problems—those surrounding the existence and ...

The Langlands program has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new worlds for them to explore One of the biggest stories in science has been ...

A new breakthrough that bridges number theory and geometry is just the latest triumph for a close-knit group of mathematicians. One of the first collaborations Xinyi Yuan and Wei Zhang ever undertook ...
