A new series of papers has settled a long-standing question related to the popular game in which players seek patterned sets of three cards. In a series of papers posted online in recent weeks, ...

In a series of papers posted online in recent weeks, mathematicians have solved a problem about the pattern-matching card game Set that predates the game itself. The solution, whose simplicity has ...

A new proof demonstrates the power of arithmetic dynamics, an emerging discipline that combines insights from number theory and dynamical systems. Joseph Silverman remembers when he began connecting ...

A Platonistic set theory with a universal set, CUSɩ, in the spirit of Alonzo Church's "Set Theory with a Universal Set," is presented; this theory uses a different sequence of restricted equivalence ...

Austin-based studio Dinosaur Games has shared a visual proof of concept for a new Jet Set Radio game it pitched to Sega that was ultimately rejected. It was called Jet Set Radio Evolution. “We made ...

Set theory is a mathematical abstract concerned with the grouping of sets of numbers that have commonality. For example, all even numbers make up a set, and all odd numbers comprise a set. All numbers ...

Peter Scholze wants to rebuild much of modern mathematics, starting from one of its cornerstones. Now, he has received validation for a proof at the heart of his quest from an unlikely source: a ...

Nearly four years after Shinichi Mochizuki unveiled an imposing set of papers that could revolutionize the theory of numbers, other mathematicians have yet to understand his work or agree on its ...
