It's not as famous as Fermat's Last Theorem. In fact, the math problem, which has not had a correct solution since it was proposed in the 1960s, doesn't even have a name. But a new, elegant solution ...

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

In 2002, an unknown mathematician quietly posted a paper online that stunned the academic world. It solved a problem that had defeated the greatest minds for over a century. A $1 million prize and the ...
