In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

Since the start of the 20th century, the heart of mathematics has been the proof — a rigorous, logical argument for whether a given statement is true or false. Mathematicians’ careers are measured by ...

In James Bell’s math class at Chapman High School, sophomores are trying to pinpoint exactly where two lines cross. The ...
