Group theory is the mathematical study of symmetry and structure, forming one of the cornerstones of modern algebra. Emerging from early investigations into polynomial equations and the permutations ...

Sociobiology, the discipline founded on Darwin's theory of group evolution, is in theoretical disarray. In a new article evolutionary scientists usher in a new era in evolutionary science. "Although a ...

Inside the symmetries of a crystal shape, a postdoctoral researcher has unearthed a counterexample to a basic conjecture about multiplicative inverses. “I’m nearly at the end of the talk, and it’s ...

In 1978, the mathematician John McKay noticed what seemed like an odd coincidence. He had been studying the different ways of representing the structure of a mysterious entity called the monster group ...
