By extending the scope of the key insight behind Fermat’s Last Theorem, four mathematicians have made great strides toward ...

Prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians for centuries. Now, supercomputers are entering the race to find the largest yet ...

A Chinese engineer has astounded mathematicians by decoding the Inter-universal Teichmüller Theory (IUT), a complex theory ...

The Riemann hypothesis is the most important open question in number theory—if not all of mathematics. It has occupied experts for more than 160 years. And the problem appeared both in mathemati ...

Number theory is the branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of whole numbers. Many number theorists are motivated purely by mathematical intrigue, and historically number theory had ...

That day, however, he was looking at results from number theory, which deals with the properties of integers such as prime numbers. He came across a sequence of numbers that started with the value ...

The University of Colorado Center for Number Theory has interests spanning number theory, from analytic to algebraic. There is a focus on arithmetic geometry, including arithmetic dynamics, elliptic ...
