A mathematical problem more than 300 years old gets a formal proof with the help of computer formal verification. A team led by mathematician Thomas Hales has delivered a formal proof of the Kepler ...

The one source of truth is mathematics. Every statement is a pure logical deduction from foundational axioms, resulting in absolute certainty. Since Andrew Wiles proved Fermat’s Last Theorem, you’d be ...

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 ...
