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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

This is the first part of a two course graduate sequence in analytical methods to solve ordinary and partial differential equations of mathematical physics. Review of Advanced ODE’s including power ...

Last month, six Cornell faculty members received the Simons Fellowship, which provides funding for a research leave. Three received the Theoretical Physics fellowship and three received the ...

You will never be able to prove every mathematical truth. For me, this incompleteness theorem, discovered by Kurt Gödel, is one of the most incredible results in mathematics. It may not surprise ...

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 ...
