Is there an infinity of infinities? The question sounds almost absurd, like a child’s riddle meant to twist your brain into ...
Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms.
Infinity used to be the place where mathematics ran out of road, a hazy horizon rather than a mapped landscape. Now a pair of ...
In Math, we often talk of how a function behaves as a variable approaches limits at infinity. That is, if we let “x” take on larger and larger values, what happens to the value of “y” it creates? It ...
When mathematician Georg Cantor first glimpsed the true nature of infinity, it changed mathematics forever. He demonstrated that infinity isn’t just endless—it exists in different sizes, each opening ...
Infinity Squared Mathematics, a non-profit founded by high school seniors, promotes problem-solving skills and bridges the ...
That is the question that will be asked and discussed at noon Thursday at the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library, 645 NW Monroe Ave. Oregon State University graduate assistant — and math fanatic — ...
