For decades, a math puzzle has stumped the smartest mathematicians in the world. x 3 +y 3 +z 3 =k, with k being all the numbers from one to 100, is a Diophantine equation that's sometimes known as ...

Mathematics Magazine presents articles and notes on undergraduate mathematical topics in a lively expository style that appeals to students and faculty throughout the undergraduate years. The journal ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

The Mathematical Gazette is the original journal of the Mathematical Association and it is now over a century old. Its readership is a mixture of school teachers, college and university lecturers, ...

The set of solutions to a diophantine equation is strongly influenced by the geometry of the associated algebraic variety. This paradigm, for example, suggests that an elementary proof of Fermat’s ...

Research in group theory has long embraced equations as a means to elucidate the structure and behaviour of groups. In particular, Diophantine problems—those surrounding the existence and ...
