For decades, mathematicians tried to come up with the optimal sofa shape to move around a corner. Post-doctoral student Jineon Baek posted a 100-page proof that claims to solve the problem. In a scene ...

A math problem delineating the largest-size sofa that can fit around a corner has finally been solved, though it may not help you move. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

I've been using Linux for a very, very long time, and it's rare that I encounter an issue I cannot resolve. However, a few weeks ago, such a problem occurred. The ...

Two mathematicians have used a new geometric approach in order to address a very old problem in algebra. In school, we often learn how to multiply out and factor polynomial equations like (x² – 1) or ...
