Science & Technology How Set Theory Evolved From Hausdorff Until Today In his work on set theory, Felix Hausdorff set the tone for modern mathematics at a time when no general foundation for the different mathematical disciplines existed.
Science & Technology Cryptography: Decoding the Mathematics of Secret Messages How can we keep private information private in the digital age? The answer to this question, cryptography, is a hybrid discipline using mathematics, computer science, and statistics. It has a rich history and is bound to become even more important in the future.
Science & Technology Committee Theory, Or Finding Solutions to Problems That Have no Solution By drawing several straight lines that cross one point on a piece of paper, we arrive at one of the most fascinating mathematical theories: Committee theory not only has a number of practical applications like pattern recognition – a central branch of machine learning – but also searches for collective solutions to problems that have no familiar solution at all.
