In 1963, mathematician Stanislaw Ulam got bored during a meeting and started doodling a grid spiral of sequential numbers.By highlighting only the primes, he uncovered what remains one of the most mesmerising visual mysteries in number theory: the Ulam Spiral.

An Indian mathematician often regarded as one of the greatest of all time, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions despite having almost no formal training.Over a century ago, the self-taught genius stunned his teacher by questioning whether zero divided by zero equals one a profound query that hinted at deeper mathematical truths.Ramanujan credited hi

X上谁是数学家能够大概精确计算出到底现在中国有多少人口？不要使用不可靠的政府统计数字，而是从数学计算角度算一下？X（旧Twitter）上に、現在の中国の正確な人口を、ある程度の精度をもって算出できる数学者はいないでしょうか？信頼性に欠ける政府統計に基づくものではなく、あくまで数学的な観点から導き出された算出結果を求めています。Who on X is a mathematician capable of calculating—with a reasonable degree of accuracy—exactly what China's current population is? I'm looking for a calculation derived from a mathematical perspective, rather than one based on unreliable government statistics.

Beauty of MathematicsThese Cortaderia-like Collatz plots build on an idea first explored by British mathematician Edmund Harriss, who drew Collatz trees by turning the path clockwise or anticlockwise depending on whether the next term in a sequence was even or odd.Here, that same idea is pushed further. Instead of using parity alone, each step bends according to the remainder after division by a chosen number, and that remainder also controls how the path rises or falls. The result is a whole ga
