For centuries, prime numbers have captured the imaginations of mathematicians, who continue to search for new patterns that help identify them and the way they’re distributed among other numbers.

A new program can find and compare relationships in complicated data without having to be asked specific queries Are there subtle patterns lurking in data that can foretell of a coming ...

A new artificially intelligent "mathematician" known as the Ramanujan Machine can potentially reveal hidden relationships between numbers. The "machine" consists of algorithms that seek out ...

Pattern analysis makes for better image processing. Images on the right were compressed with the conventional JPEG format. Images on the left were reconstructed with a new technique that analyses ...

The seemingly random digits known as prime numbers are not nearly as scattershot as previously thought. A new analysis by Princeton University researchers has uncovered patterns in primes that are ...

Some mathematical patterns are so subtle you could search for a lifetime and never find them. Others are so common that they seem impossible to avoid. A new proof by Sarah Peluse of the University of ...
