Unsolved problems in mathematics | Diophantine approximation | Conjectures

Littlewood conjecture

In mathematics, the Littlewood conjecture is an open problem (as of May 2021) in Diophantine approximation, proposed by John Edensor Littlewood around 1930. It states that for any two real numbers α and β, where is the distance to the nearest integer. (Wikipedia).

Robbins' formulas, the Bellows conjecture + polyhedra volumes|Rational Geometry Math Foundations 128

We discuss modern developments in the direction of our latest videos, namely formulas for areas of polygons in terms of the quadrances of the sides. We discuss work of Moebius, Bowman and Robbins on the areas of cyclic pentagons. There is also a rich story about 3 dimensional generalizati

Divisibility, Prime Numbers, and Prime Factorization

Now that we understand division, we can talk about divisibility. A number is divisible by another if their quotient is a whole number. The smaller number is a factor of the larger one, but are there numbers with no factors at all? There's some pretty surprising stuff in this one! Watch th

The sporadic nature of big numbers | Data Structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 176

In this video we derive a fundamental but destabilizing fact about natural numbers: that almost everything we know about arithmetic with natural numbers starts to break down as we proceed to investigate bigger and bigger numbers. By studying complexity and making some estimates using count
