More than a century after publishing major papers in theoretical mathematics, German-born Emmy Noether continues to challenge ...

Last month, six Cornell faculty members received the Simons Fellowship, which provides funding for a research leave. Three received the Theoretical Physics fellowship and three received the ...

Monstrous moonshine, a quirky pattern of the monster group in theoretical math, has a shadow -- umbral moonshine. Mathematicians have now proved this insight, known as the Umbral Moonshine Conjecture, ...

Mathematics is one of the oldest disciplines of study. For all its antiquity, however, it is a modern, rapidly growing field. Only 70 years ago, mathematics might have been said to consist of algebra, ...

Of all the scientific disciplines, pure math, also known as theoretical math, is arguably one of the most cerebral. While chemists tend to make discoveries in the lab, mathematicians are more likely ...

For a lot of students with a passion for math, it’s all about the numbers. They love the structure of it, the consistency of it. They love the formulas, that one plus one will always equal two. For ...
