Sebestyen’s theorem crosses into infinity after 40 years of mathematical limits
A classic math rule now handles infinity. New work strengthens the math behind physics and unbounded systems. % ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 23, No. 1 (Feb., 1986), pp. 170-177 (8 pages) Dixon's theorem (Math. Programming, 2 (1972), pp. 383-387) states that all variable metric methods in the Broyden ...
Math's 'hairy ball theorem' shows why there's always at least one place on Earth where no wind blows
Here's what the hairiest problem in math can teach us about wind, antennas and nuclear fusion. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.
The first proof that many people ever learn, early in high school, is the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid’s proof that there are infinitely many prime numbers. It takes just a few lines and uses no ...
