Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

After almost sixty years of stumping progress in geometry, a Korean mathematician has cracked a problem that generations of ...

A geometry problem that has been puzzling scientists for 60 years has likely just been solved by an amateur mathematician with a newly discovered 13-sided shape. Called “The hat” because it vaguely ...

A South Korean mathematician has solved a geometry puzzle that baffled experts in the field for nearly six decades.

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

But now, two mathematician friends have used their quarantine time to crack a variation of the age-old geometry problem. They analyzed a set of loopy shapes called smooth, continuous curves to prove ...

To the surprise of experts in the field, a postdoctoral statistician has solved one of the most important problems in high-dimensional convex geometry. In the mid-1980s, the mathematician Jean ...

Video: What about shape data? How does that factor into new AI/ML models? We've heard a lot – an amazing amount, actually – about data science applications for AI, with media like images, videos, ...
