BYU mathematics professor Doug Corey and a team of students created a YouTube channel devoted to applying theoretical math concepts to real-world problems. Imagine this: the BYU Cougars men’s ...

Monstrous moonshine, a quirky pattern of the monster group in theoretical math, has a shadow - umbral moonshine. Mathematicians have now proved this insight, known as the Umbral Moonshine Conjecture, ...

A math problem first posed in the 19th century has been solved. It took more than 200 billion computations, but scientists know understand a bit more about the mysteries of the universe's symmetry.
