It’s not often that a mathematics textbook is described as “gorgeous” or “a work of practical art.” But An Illustrated Theory of Numbers by Martin Weissman, associate professor of mathematics at UC ...

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 ...

Algebraic number theory is a foundational branch of mathematics that investigates the properties of algebraic numbers and their relationships through the lens of field extensions and rings of integers ...

Their ambitions were always high. When Will Sawin and Melanie Matchett Wood first started working together in the summer of 2020, they set out to rethink the key components of some of the most ...

Chantal David is one of the leading number theorists in Canada, known for significant and original research contributions. She is primarily interested in distribution questions for arithmetic objects ...

After an eight-year struggle, embattled Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki has finally received some validation. His 600-page proof of the abc conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in ...

A new magnum opus posits the existence of a hidden mathematical link akin to the connection between electricity and magnetism. In 2018, as he prepared to be awarded the Fields Medal, math’s highest ...

Number Theory is one of the oldest branches of modern mathematics. It is motivated by the study of properties of integers and solutions to equations in integers. Many of its problems can be stated ...

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 few ...
