In August, a team of mathematicians posted a paper claiming to solve a major problem in algebraic geometry — using entirely alien techniques. It instantly captivated the field, stoking excitement in ...

In this video, we break down a deceptive mathematical argument that claims 1 + 1 = 3 and expose exactly where the logic goes wrong. Step by step, you’ll see how small algebraic tricks and hidden ...

Math students may not blink at calculating probabilities, measuring the area beneath curves or evaluating matrices, yet they often find themselves at sea when first confronted with writing proofs. But ...

YoungHoon Kim, who has claimed to be the smartest person on earth with an IQ of 276, has revealed his surprising mathematical evidence showing that God is real ...

Will Kenton is an expert on the economy and investing laws and regulations. He previously held senior editorial roles at Investopedia and Kapitall Wire and holds a MA in Economics from The New School ...

We introduce a new and natural algebraic proof system, whose complexity measure is essentially the algebraic circuit size of Nullstellensatz certificates. This enables us to exhibit close connections ...

Practical anonymous credential systems are generally built around sigma-protocol ZK proofs. This requires that credentials be based on specially formed signatures. Here we ask whether we can instead ...

Abstract: This paper considers the problem of designing maximum distance separable (MDS) codes over small fields with constraints on the support of their generator matrices. For any given m χ n binary ...

Abstract: Among the zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge (zk-SNARK), the simulation-extractable zk-SNARK (SE-SNARK) introduces a security notion of non-malleability. The ...

Scalar Magnitudes are quantities that conserve their value and form under transformations of translation and rotation, or changes between coordinate systems (Cartesian, polar, spherical, etc.) ...
