The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum ...

The University of Colorado Center for Number Theory has interests spanning number theory, from analytic to algebraic. There is a focus on arithmetic geometry, including arithmetic dynamics, elliptic ...

Number theory is the branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of whole numbers. Many number theorists are motivated purely by mathematical intrigue, and historically number theory had ...

But An Illustrated Theory of Numbers by Martin Weissman, associate professor of mathematics at UC Santa Cruz, is no ordinary textbook. Weissman said his interest in design and information ...

Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory: a specific kind of elliptic curve from a torus.
