Among the most creative and original mathematical thinkers (explanations of her work are virtually incomprehensible to us mortals who communicate in words rather than symbols), Amalie “Emmy” Noether’s ...

Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own 'undecipherable' coded languages. Mathematicians now present 'big algebras,' a two-way mathematical 'dictionary' ...

IT is unfortunate that F. P. Wolfkehl's legacy of a prize for settling the vexed question of “Fermat's Last Theorem” should have stimulated such a large erroneous mathematical literature. Most of the ...

Considering a binary operation as a ternary relation permits certain sections of the latter (which are functions) to be used in representing an abstract semigroup as a family of the self-maps of its ...

The Mathematics GRE consists of about 70 questions. 50% of the exam is calculus and its applications. 25% consists of elementary algebra, linear algebra, abstract algebra and number theory. The ...
