The grandest project in mathematics has received a rare gift, in the form of a mammoth 350-page paper posted in February that will change the way researchers around the world investigate some of the ...
It’s not often that a mathematics textbook is described as “gorgeous” or “a work of practical art.” But An Illustrated Theory of Numbers by Martin Weissman, associate professor of mathematics at UC ...
Researchers introduced new concepts and arithmetic functions that could play a significant role in the quantum factorization problem. The Factorization Ensemble is the main one; it allows us to bind ...
In this paper, the author derives the Dedekind-Peano axioms for number theory from a consistent and general metaphysical theory of abstract objects. The derivation makes no appeal to primitive ...
THE theory of numbers has an appeal to general interest, not shared by other branches of mathematics, in that most of the great unsolved problems of the subject are formulated in terms intelligible to ...
Several years ago one of us, Toni, asked another of us, Marco, to come to his office at the Institute of Photonic Sciences, a large research center in Castelldefels near Barcelona. “There is a problem ...
