The usually solitary, hermetic world of mathematics has begun to buzz – thanks to an unassuming Chinese-born mathematician with a reputation for solving the unsolvable. Sixty-seven-year-old Yitang ...

Prime numbers are maddeningly capricious. They clump together like buddies on some regions of the number line, but in other areas, nary a prime can be found. So number theorists can’t even roughly ...
