2001 University of Texas Lectures on the Millennium Problems

AMS Einstein Public Lecture in Mathematics: Terence Tao is UCLA's Collins Professor of Mathematics, and the first UCLA professor to win the prestigious Fields Medal. Less than a month after winning the Fields Medal, Tao was named a MacArthur Fellow. The following…

Mathematicians are finding inevitable structures in sufficiently large sets of integers.

GPT-4 generated article After giving GPT-4 the parameters of the article – namely, to answer the questions of how might AI technology and its successors contribute to human flourishing, and h…

There are three quite different approaches to the idea of a real number as an infinite decimal. In this lecture we look carefully at the first and most popular idea: that an infinite decimal can be defined in terms of an infinite sequence of digits appearing…

For thousands of years, mathematicians have adapted to the latest advances in logic and reasoning. Are they ready for artificial intelligence?

In the 19th century, algebraists started to look at extension fields of the rational numbers as new domains for doing arithmetic. In this way the notion of an abstract ring was born, through the more concrete examples of rings of algebraic integers in number…

The field of study of chaos has its roots in differential equations and dynamical systems, the very language that is used to describe how any physical system evolves in the real world. This video aims to tell the story of chaos step by step, from simple non…

Born in Argentina, Professor Luis Caffarelli has made history by becoming one of the greatest mathematicians with roots in South America. Watch below as Professor Caffarelli talked about his time in Buenos Aires, his journey to the North, the love story between…

Scenes in Movies in which some Mathematics appears

Using “refreshingly old” tools, mathematicians resolved a 50-year-old conjecture about how to categorize important functions called modular forms, with consequences for number theory and theoretical physics.

A group of us are starting a new initiative in the fall: the Global Math Professional Learning Network. In this online group, you will choose topics for professional development that interest you, and we will help you to find a group of other math teachers…

In a recent Quanta article about the 9th Dedekind number, Dedekind is credited with the first formal definition of infinity.

Is this an accurate attribution?
