Mathematical Atlas: A gateway to Mathematics

Welcome! This is a collection of short articles designed to provide an introduction to the areas of modern mathematics and pointers to further information, as well as answers to some common (or not!) questions. The material is arranged in a hierarchy of disciplines, each with its own index page (" blue pages ").

Unsolved Problems

There are many unsolved problems in mathematics. Some prominent outstanding unsolved problems (as well as some which are not necessarily so well known) include 1. The Goldbach conjecture . 2. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/UnsolvedProblems.html
WHEN G. H. Hardy faced a stormy sea passage from Scandinavia to England, he took out an unusual insurance policy. Hardy scribbled a postcard to a friend with the words: "Have proved the Riemann hypothesis". http://www.timetoeternity.com/time_space_light/prime_time.htm

6174 (number)

6174 is known as Kaprekar's constant [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] after the Indian mathematician D. R. Kaprekar . This number is notable for the following property: Take any four-digit number, using at least two different digits. (Leading zeros are allowed.)

Fibonacci in Nature

The Fibonacci numbers play a significant role in nature and in art and architecture. We will first use the rectangle to lead us to some interesting applications in these areas. We will construct a set of rectangles using the Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34 which will lead us to a design found in nature.
