One of the highlights in the Robertson-Seymour theory on graph minors is the finiteness (for each fixed surface S) of the set of the minimal forbidden minors for S. Theorem 7.0.1 (Robertson and ...

Two years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years, such ...

The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the sum of ...
