For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...

The brain twister that is the Rubik's cube has not only befuddled many people that have tried to solve it, but it has also stumped mathematicians. Earlier this year, researchers deciphered the classic ...

An engineer noted for his ability to visualize three-dimensional structure was having coffee and doughnuts. Before he dropped a sugar cube into his cup, he placed the cube on the table and thought, ...

A carpenter, working with a buzz saw, wishes to cut a wooden cube, three inches on a side, into 27 one-inch cubes. This can be easily done by making six cuts through the cube, keeping the pieces ...

The problem of 42 -- at least as it relates to whether the number could be considered the sum of three cubes -- has finally been solved. The question of whether every number under 100 could be ...

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 ...
