The proof resolves a nearly 80-year-old problem known as the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture. In doing so, it provides a final answer to a question that has preoccupied mathematicians since ancient times: ...

The ancient Greeks wondered when “irrational” numbers can be approximated by fractions. By proving the longstanding Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, two mathematicians have provided a complete answer. The ...

The deep recesses of the number line are not as forbidding as they might seem. That's one consequence of a major new proof about how complicated numbers yield to simple approximations. The proof ...

When you estimate a number you decide approximately, or roughly, how big that number is. To estimate accurately, you need to have a good understanding of the value and order of numbers. A number line ...
