In one of David Lodge's comic novels about academia, the English-professor characters play a game called "Humiliation," where they take turns admitting classic works of literature that they haven't ...

It has long been a mystery why pure math can reveal so much about the nature of the physical world. Antimatter was discovered in Paul Dirac’s equations before being detected in cosmic rays. Quarks ...

Surprisingly, mathematics and science are similar in challenging a fundamental truth: That there exist things that are ...

The Mathematical Physics group at CU Boulder has expertise in Hilbert space theory, quantization theory, random matrices, Poisson geometry, the mathematics of classical and quantum fields, and PDE's ...

(1) A NEW edition of this really useful book is to be welcomed. The author has returned to Heaviside's notation of p for the operator, a distinct improvement. The chapter on Bessel functions has been ...

Explore three different mathematical methods for solving the simple harmonic oscillator, one of the most important models in physics and applied mathematics. This guide compares the approaches step by ...

THIS is the second edition of a book which from the first was recognised as filling a place of its own in our mathematical literature. It is essentially a book for the student of chemistry, for whom a ...

The laws of physics imply that the passage of time is an illusion. To avoid this conclusion, we might have to rethink the reality of infinitely precise numbers. Strangely, although we feel as if we ...

On a warm summer evening, a visitor to 1920s Göttingen, Germany, might have heard the hubbub of a party from an apartment on Friedländer Way. A glimpse through the window would reveal a gathering of ...
