Set theory underpins modern mathematical logic by providing a unified language for defining fundamental mathematical objects and analysing their properties. At its core lies the Zermelo–Fraenkel ...

Dynamical systems and ergodic theory have become central to modern approaches in number theory by recasting arithmetic questions as problems about long-term behaviour of orbits under iteration. Such ...

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is so widely accepted that modern mathematicians hardly think about it. But believing in its core principles didn’t come easily. How do mathematicians decide that something ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

A set of nine malicious NuGet packages has been identified as capable of dropping time-delayed payloads to sabotage database operations and corrupt industrial control systems. According to software ...

Abstract: This paper explores the application of feedback and control systems in dynamically adjusting the position of a microstrip antenna to optimize signal reception. Ultra-wideband (UWB) ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...
