Unraveling the Math Mystery: When Circles Collide
Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily
Summer Haag and Clyde Kertzer, participants in a CU Boulder REU, disproved the long-held local-global conjecture in number theory by exploring Apollonian circle packings, challenging the widely accepted belief in mathematics. Their research highlighted the creative and uncharted aspects of mathematical exploration, emphasizing intuition, exploration, and play in math research.
