Sam Raskin has wrapped his head around a math problem so complex it took five academic studies — and more than 900 pages — to solve. The results are a sweeping, game-changing math proof that was ...
Geometric group theory and discrete mathematics intersect in the study of groups through the lens of geometric and combinatorial structures. At its core, geometric group theory probes how algebraic ...

Blending algebra and geometry: An approach to high school math slowly gains favor
In James Bell’s math class at Chapman High School, sophomores are trying to pinpoint exactly where two lines cross. The ...
The Math 8806-8807 sequence will cover the following topics: Group Theory (Group actions, Sylow, Nilpotent/Solvable, simple groups, Jordan-Holder series, presentations); commutative algebra ...
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 ...
Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...
