A 17-year-old student has shaken the mathematics world by toppling a theory that stood unchallenged for over 40 years.

At just 17, homeschooled Bahamas teen Hannah Cairo upended the 40-year-old Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, coming up with a ...

A brilliant teen who honed her skills during the COVID-19 pandemic has solved one of math's most frustrating problems [that's ...

A 17-year-old girl, Hannah Cairo, has just conquered everyone with her ability to develop and solve all kinds of mathematical problems. Many call her a genius and many on social ne ...

Math proofs can go through many iterations and attempts before they're correct. The abc conjecture dates to the 1980s and is an extension of Fermat's last theorem.

The Conjecture lives in the math discipline known as Dynamical Systems, or the study of situations that change over time in semi-predictable ways. It looks like a simple, innocuous question, but ...

The simple math hid a thorny problem, however, and no one has ever proved the Collatz conjecture. Recently, a mathematician at the University of Hamburg has published a proof of the conjecture.

As always with math breakthroughs, we now get to see if further results will quickly follow, perhaps leading to the full solution of the conjecture.
