Type theory and homotopy theory have evolved into profoundly interconnected disciplines. Type theory, with its foundations in logic and computer science, provides a formal language for constructing ...
On a recent train trip from Lyon to Paris, Vladimir Voevodsky sat next to Steve Awodey and tried to convince him to change the way he does mathematics. Voevodsky, 48, is a permanent faculty member at ...
Abstract: Conjecture and plausible reasoning are often necessary precursors to rigorous mathematical proof. Polya discussed this at length in his two volume work on Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning ...

Cobordism theory, a cornerstone of geometric topology, analyses the equivalence classes of manifolds by utilising the concept of cobordism – whereby two manifolds are considered equivalent if they ...
When a legendary mathematician found a mistake in his own work, he embarked on a computer-aided quest to eliminate human error. To succeed, he has to rewrite the ...
