Terence Tao has an IQ above 200.Youngest gold medalist in Math Olympiad history. Fields Medal winner. The greatest living mathematician by nearly any measure.And he just said something most people aren’t ready for.Tao: “This whole era of AI is teaching us that our idea of what intelligence is, is not really accurate.”We spent centuries building civilization on one assumption.That intelligence was sacred.

In 1963, mathematician Stanislaw Ulam got bored during a meeting and started doodling a grid spiral of sequential numbers.By highlighting only the primes, he uncovered what remains one of the most mesmerising visual mysteries in number theory: the Ulam Spiral.

Remembering Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) on his death anniversary. An Indian mathematician often regarded as one of the greatest of all time, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions despite having almost no formal training.Over a century ago, the self-taught genius stunned his teacher by questioning whether zero divided by zero equals one a profound query that hinted at deeper mathematical truths.Ramanujan credited hi

Today, April 15, marks the 319th birthday of Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), arguably the most prolific mathematician ever to live.

Katherine Johnson, the brilliant mathematician who helped NASA put a man on the Moon talks about the importance of math.

In 1609, Italian mathematician and philosopher Galileo created his own telescope and began observing the heavens. His discoveries were earthshaking, and in 1610, he wrote a book, 'Sidereus Nuncius' (The Sidereal Messenger), to describe what he'd seen.
