Arithmetic geometry of curves stands at the crossroads of algebraic geometry and number theory, offering a rigorous framework for analysing algebraic curves defined over number and finite fields. This ...

Algebraic curves defined over finite fields have long been a rich source of enquiry, bridging abstract algebra, geometry and number theory. Their automorphism groups, which consist of self-symmetries ...

Ever since Danica McKellar, the actor (best known for playing Winnie in The Wonder Years) and UCLA-trained mathematician, began her New York Times -bestselling series of math books for girls in 2007, ...

Winnie Cooper, math teacher? Actress Danica McKellar, who played young bookworm Winnie on The Wonder Years, has published Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape, the latest in her series of math books ...

Eric Larson and Isabel Vogt have solved the interpolation problem — a centuries-old question about some of the most basic objects in geometry. Some credit goes to the chalkboard in their living room.

Many complicated advances in research mathematics are spurred by a desire to understand some of the simplest questions about numbers. How are prime numbers distributed in the integers? Are there ...

In 1867, French mathematician Pierre Ossian Bonnet proved something that seemed like common sense: if you know how far apart ...
