Some mathematical patterns are so subtle you could search for a lifetime and never find them. Others are so common that they seem impossible to avoid. A new proof by Sarah Peluse of the University of ...

Mathematicians have taken a step forward in understanding patterns within the primes, numbers divisible only by 1 and themselves. According to the new work, the population of prime numbers contains an ...

Mathematicians are finding inevitable structures in sufficiently large sets of integers. Despite that, Furstenberg’s paper left a lasting imprint on mathematics. His new argument contained a kernel of ...
