Unknown Mathematician Proves Surprising Property of Prime Numbers

An unknown mathematician, Yitang Zhang, has revolutionized his field and helped move forward a 2,000-year-old conjecture about prime numbers. His counterintuitive findings show that special pairs of primes, called twin primes, can never be more than 70 million places away ......

How I Rediscovered the Oldest Zero in History

Mathematically, the Greco-Roman-Etruscan number system is an endlessly repetitive number system that is inefficient and cumbersome. To write 3333, which we do by repeating the sign 3 four times, a Roman would have had to scribble down MMMCCCXXXIII---three times as many characters. And I challenge anyone to multiply this number by MMDCCCLXXIX---using only the Roman system (meaning without translating these numbers into what they would be in our base-10 number system and...
