Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Arithmetic geometry of curves stands at the crossroads of algebraic geometry and number theory, offering a rigorous framework for analysing algebraic curves defined over number and finite fields. This ...

Algebraic curves defined over finite fields have long been a rich source of enquiry, bridging abstract algebra, geometry and number theory. Their automorphism groups, which consist of self-symmetries ...

Many complicated advances in research mathematics are spurred by a desire to understand some of the simplest questions about numbers. How are prime numbers distributed in the integers? Are there ...

In mid-March, the mathematicians Joshua Greene and Andrew Lobb found themselves in the same situation: locked down and struggling to adjust while the COVID-19 pandemic grew outside their doors. They ...

When your project for the day is painting a room, you probably don’t reach for a calculator. And if any math does come up, it’s likely the stuff you’ve known since grade school: Estimate the area of ...
