For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...
Yesterday, I posted an article about a math video that showed how you can sum up an infinite series of numbers to get a result of, weirdly enough, -1/12. A lot of stuff happened after I posted it.
I did a Q&A this week at the website io9, and one of the questions was something I get all the time: How can you add up a series of infinitely many numbers and get a finite answer? This question has ...
Time to test your brain! Are you a puzzle person? Most of these hard math problems aren’t straightforward arithmetic. They challenge you to look at problems a different way, testing your logic and ...
