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 ...

For decades, a math puzzle has stumped the smartest mathematicians in the world. x 3 +y 3 +z 3 =k, with k being all the numbers from one to 100, is a Diophantine equation that's sometimes known as ...

A number theorist with programming prowess has found a solution to 33 = x³ + y³ + z³, a much-studied equation that went unsolved for 64 years. Now, Andrew Booker, a mathematician at the University of ...

Normally I would avoid math problems where scientists start off by saying: “The numbers involved are so enormous that if their digits were written out by hand they would stretch to the moon and back.” ...
