If pure math can teach us anything, it’s this: occasionally, your special interest might just change the world. For Joshua Zahl and Hong Wang, that special interest was the Kakeya conjecture.

The last dimension of Keller's conjecture has been proven using a computer algorithm. The conjecture involves the way hypercubes in different dimensions share sides when tiled. The proof is ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology doctoral student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, who studies computing ...

Math can sometimes seem like a bunch of confusing numbers and letters. But every once in a while, someone solves a puzzle that’s been around for decades—sometimes even over a hundred years!

Counting from Infinity: Yitang Zhang and the Twin Prime Conjecture is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones ...
