@fadesingh, While I do agree in part with your comment that the technical side of the math could have been explored a bit more, to me, part of what this story is highlighting (and to great benefit as well) is the "other" personal side of mathematics which is rarely seen by the broader public. Most of math and math history is full of seemingly brilliant solo (read: lone wolf) researchers developing mathematics de novo in dark, smoke and caffeine-filled rooms and emerging with iron clad proofs. This particular story shows the growing more collaborative and friendly side of math in addition to the years of slow development of friendships and theory which have culminated into something potentially interesting. I would suggest that in this case you not take them too hard to task on the subject, particularly as the article was being written contemporaneously with the publication of the journal article itself. (The article here was published <i>just</i> in advance of the arXiv post, such that it didn't even include the link to the paper itself, though it was added the following day.)

I love that Quanta is continually exploring the areas of math and science at the depth and level which they've become accustomed. They're filling a very important gap in science communication between technical journal articles and somewhat sophisticated outlets like National Geographic, Scientific American, and Wired (in which they are also distributed, but yet are still an editorial cut above comparatively. [Cross reference: <a href="http://stream.boffosocko.com/2015/evolution-of-a-scientific-journal-article-title-from-nature-to">Evolution of a Scientific Journal Article Title (from Nature to TMZ)</a>] I'm sure that C.P. Snow himself would praise them for helping to close the gap between the "Two Cultures."
