A new proof was finally published in 2004, finishing off the classification. Many structures in modern math—rings, fields, and vector spaces, for example—are created when more structure is ...

The textbook usually used for this course is Excursions in Modern Mathematics by Peter Tannenbaum, published by Pearson. However, students should wait until the first day of class to ensure the ...

“Let us not let our hearts beat too fast.” Then he began his lecture on the complexities of modern mathematics. 100 Years Old. With the help of Reed College, Portland has been holding such ...

Mathematics is one of the oldest disciplines of study. For all its antiquity, however, it is a modern, rapidly growing field. Only 70 years ago, mathematics might have been said to consist of algebra, ...

People have repeatedly resisted it. Yet today we know that all other numbers—and all of modern mathematics—would truly be nothing without zero. Zero may have been invented more than once ...

An error in a proof underlying a widely used branch of modern mathematics was accidentally discovered by mathematicians while translating old proofs to a computer ...

A new proof was finally published in 2004, finishing off the classification. Many structures in modern math — rings, fields and vector spaces, for example — are created when more structure is added to ...
