When she was just 17 years old, Hannah Cairo disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, breaking a four-decade-old ...

The simple math hid a thorny problem, however, and no one has ever proved the Collatz conjecture. Recently, a mathematician at the University of Hamburg has published a proof of the conjecture.

Despite the greatest strides in mathematics, these hard math problems remain unsolved. Take a crack at them yourself.

What is the famous Sunflower Conjecture, and are we any closer to solving the 60-year-old problem?

“In mathematics, the role of these highest peaks is played by the great conjectures — sharply formulated statements that are most likely true but for which no conclusive proof has yet been found.

A team of mathematicians has solved a math problem first posed more than 40 years ago. It took three mathematicians almost 15 years to solve the famous Rota’s Conjecture – a theory first posed ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology doctoral student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, who studies computing ...

When Hannah Cairo was 17 years old, she disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a long-standing guess in the field of harmonic analysis about how waves behave on curved surfaces. The ...
