Fermat’s last theorem is just one of many examples of innocent-looking problems that can long stymie even the most astute mathematicians. It took about 350 years to prove Fermat’s scribbled conjecture ...

The last dimension of Keller's conjecture has been proven using a computer algorithm. The conjecture involves the way hypercubes in different dimensions share sides when tiled. The proof is ...

Christian Goldbach (1690 - 1764) was a German mathematician famous for his eponymous Conjecture. Goldbach's Conjecture is one of the most infamous problems in mathematics, and states that every even ...
