The blockbuster game Minecraft depicts a world created by cubes: everything is made of discrete building blocks. It may therefore seem particularly unsuitable for calculating pi (π), the mathematical ...

Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel prize winner—that first posed the problem didn't believe it would ever be ...

Abstract: The noisiness of a channel can be measured by comparing suitable functionals of the input and output distributions. For instance, the worst case ratio of output relative entropy to input ...
