The geometry and topology group at UB is traditionally strong in research and mentoring. Our faculty work in the areas of algebraic topology, complex geometry, differential geometry, geometric group ...

When two mathematicians raised pointed questions about a classic proof that no one really understood, they ignited a years-long debate about how much could be trusted in a new kind of geometry. In the ...

Networks of very different type – from social to biological, from economical to technical – are shaping our modern world, and for many years, scientists are investigating their structures and function ...

Mathematics is one of the oldest disciplines of study. For all its antiquity, however, it is a modern, rapidly growing field. Only 70 years ago, mathematics might have been said to consist of algebra, ...

When students are genuinely curious about new concepts and ideas, they develop their own study skills, says Pekka Pankka, professor and teacher in the specialization. Geometry, Algebra, and Topology ...

Mathematicians predicted that if they imposed enough restrictions on how a shape might tile space, they could force a periodic pattern to emerge. But they were wrong. One of the oldest and simplest ...

The famous mathematical ratio, estimated to more than 22 trillion digits (and counting), is the perfect symbol for our species’ long effort to tame infinity. By Steven Strogatz This article, ...
