The quest for the einstein tile—a shape never seen before in mathematics—turned up even more discoveries than mathematicians counted on

A new mathematical proof helps show whether a sequence of numbers is “pseudorandom”

If the structures look familiar, it's probably because nature has been using them for a long time in places like nautilus shells, zebra stripes and onions

Bright minds are being encouraged to consider jobs in fashion, rather than traditional STEM careers such as engineering and mathematics.

Can we write any number as the sum of three cubes? It’s a puzzle that has perplexed mathematicians for centuries. Now we have finally have an answer for 42

Just weeks after solving the problem for 42, mathematicians have worked out another way of writing the number 3 as the sum of three cubes

The 2020 Abel prize was awarded to mathematicians Hillel Furstenberg and Gregory Margulis for their use of probability and dynamics in group theory, number theory and combinatorics
