Gothenburg promised to optimise school admissions with a piece of code. The resulting chaos showed how unaccountable systems are ruining lives We like to imagine that injustice announces itself loudly ...

The Collatz conjecture is usually presented as an unsolved mathematical mystery: no one has formally proven that every positive integer eventually reaches 1. Mathematicians have tested numbers up to 2 ...

The Collatz Conjecture is defined by a rule simple enough for a child to follow. No matter what number you start with, the process always appears to end the same way — and it has never been observed ...

While the creation of this new entity marks a big step toward avoiding a U.S. ban, as well as easing trade and tech-related tensions between Washington and Beijing, there is still uncertainty ...

“Pick any number. If it’s even, divide it by 2. If it’s odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. Repeat.” That’s the Collatz Conjecture—stupid simple, yet totally unproven. Mathematicians have spent decades ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

The Collatz Conjecture begins with a simple sequence yet no proof has ever been found to solve it. Trump’s top Senate ally breaks with president on intelligence chief Almost three tonnes of cocaine ...
