"It's a huge triumph. But rather than closing a door, this proof throws open a dozen others," says David Ben-Zvi at the University of Texas at Austin, who was not involved with the work.

Hannah Cairo solved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a significant problem in harmonic analysis, using fractals and careful construction of a counterexample.

March 14 and July 22 are celebrated as Pi Day and a day related to Pi, respectively, highlighting the mathematical significance of this number in mathematics.

Understanding when gender gaps in mathematics emerge is critical for intervention. Martinot et al. emphasize that these gaps are noticeable starting in the first year of school.

When you buy cans of beer or soda in bulk, it can be hard to find a good place to store them. The familiar packaging pattern is slightly inefficient.

Mahadevan is driven by a remarkable curiosity about the intersection of mathematics, physics, and biology, exploring how form influences function across a range of phenomena.
