It’s not often a math paper goes viral, but a new preprint from a theoretical physicist at Poland’s Jagiellonian University ...

Mathematical physics occupies the fertile borderland between pure mathematics and theoretical physics, developing precise frameworks to formulate and solve the laws governing nature. It embraces the ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

If all you had at your mathematical disposal was the idea of real numbers, you could still get very far. From Galileo to Newton to Coulomb to Maxwell, the entirety of classical physics is built on the ...

Breakthroughs in physics sometimes require an assist from the field of mathematics—and vice versa. In 1912, Albert Einstein, then a 33-year-old theoretical physicist at the Eidgenössische Technische ...

Students who are interested in applying mathematics to real world or physics problems are the best fit for mathematical physics, says Associate Professor Konstantin Izyurov. We have several core ...

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 ...

Modern mathematical physics was born from the attempts to gain mathematical understanding of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. In those fields powerful new methods were developed around ...

A $1 million prize awaits anyone who can show where the math of fluid flow breaks down. With specially trained AI systems, researchers have found a slew of new candidates in simpler versions of the ...
