2022's Biggest Breakthroughs in Math

Mathematicians made major progress in 2022, solving a centuries-old geometry question called the interpolation problem, proving the best way to minimize the surface area of clusters of three, four and five bubbles, and proving a sweeping statement about how structure emerges in random sets and graphs.

Correction: An earlier version of this video incorrectly suggested that Vogt and Larson solved the Brill-Noether theorem and has been deleted. Instead, the couple solved the interpolation problem. This video more accurately reflects what they proved. We regret the error.
