A Korean mathematician has won international recognition for solving a geometry puzzle that had resisted proof for nearly six ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Grigori Perelman, a Russian mathematician, solved one of the world's most complicated math problems several years ago. The Poincare Conjecture was the first of the seven Millennium Prize Problems to ...

A buzz is building that one of mathematics' greatest unsolved problems may have fallen. Blogs and online discussion groups are spreading news of a paper posted to an online preprint server on 26 ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...
