Arithmetic geometry of elliptic curves combines algebraic geometry and number theory to investigate cubic curves of genus one endowed with a distinguished rational point. Such curves admit a group law ...

How can you figure out which points lie on a certain curve? And how many possible curves do you count by a given number of points? These are the kinds of questions Pim Spelier of the Mathematical ...

A simple geometric idea has been used to power advances in information theory, cryptography and even blockchain technology. But while the work has generated a lot of excitement among pure ...

Efforts to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic are now the top priority of governments across the globe. As they make these life-saving decisions, it is particularly crucial for policymakers ...
