The world of mathematics is full of unreachable corners, where unsolvable problems live. Now, yet another has been exposed. In 1900, the eminent mathematician David Hilbert announced a list of 23 key ...

A bunch of the talks I went to last week at DAMOP were about searching for extremely tiny effects (I wrote about some of them, but there were a bunch more). Some of these were looking for real ...

PARTLY due to the fact that their knowledge of the subject is acquired piecemeal, most mathematical students show confusion of thought on questions relating to the theory of limits. On it rests the ...
