Christopher Havens came upon his love of math while in solitary confinement. A decade later, he published a paper on number theory in a top mathematics journal.

How could big algebras strengthen the link between quantum physics and number theory, two fields of mathematics seemingly worlds apart? Firstly, the math behind quantum physics makes extensive use ...

By extending the scope of a key insight behind Fermat’s Last Theorem, four mathematicians have made great strides toward ...

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 ...

Early Greek mathematician Thymaridas of Paros linked number theory, cosmic harmony, and linear equations, pioneering algebraic thinking.

From that work, a useful set of quantities emerged that mathematicians began calling moments, after a term used in probability theory. In probability, moments can help you work out the distributions ...

MATH 8822 Number Theory II (Spring: 3) Possible topics include: Factorization of ideals, local fields, local-vs-global Galois theory, Brauer group, adèles and idèles, class field theory, Dirichlet ...

A new number theory paper comes from three academic researchers and, astonishingly, one prison inmate. Number theory is full of complex problems with applications in cryptography and more.

Over the last half 50 years, fractals have challenged ideas about geometry and pushed math, science and technology into unexpected areas.
