Mathematics of the 20th Century

Mathematics of the 20th century saw major developments transforming how we understand patterns and structures. It included the formalization of logic and set theory, which underpin all mathematics, and advances in abstract algebra and topology that explore space and relationships. The century also witnessed the birth of computer science, rooted in mathematical logic, and breakthroughs in solving longstanding problems, such as Fermat’s Last Theorem. These innovations expanded mathematics' scope, connecting it more closely with science, technology, and everyday life, ultimately shaping modern science, technology, and our understanding of the universe.
