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

For centuries, prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians, from ancient artifacts to modern tech. Now, cloud computing and ...

Today, the 35-year-old mathematician, now a professor at the University of Oxford, was awarded the Fields Medal for his “spectacular contributions in analytic number theory,” according to the award ...

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 ...

“It’s a fairly simple statement that has applications everywhere, in all sorts of math, not just number theory,” said James Rickards, a mathematician at the University of Colorado, Boulder. “But it’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

First, we develop further the theory of groups, using permutation groups as a key example. We investigate the important concepts of normal subgroups and quotient groups. Secondly, we introduce rings, ...
