Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...
Research in group theory has long embraced equations as a means to elucidate the structure and behaviour of groups. In particular, Diophantine problems—those surrounding the existence and ...
Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 47, No. 176 (Oct., 1986), pp. 713-727 (15 pages) We show how the Gelfond-Baker theory and diophantine approximation techniques can be ...
