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 ...

A team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of California, San Diego have ...

By the early 1990s, Seiberg and his collaborator Edward Witten figured out how to use it to create a new mathematical tool — now called the Seiberg-Witten invariants — that turns quantum phenomena ...

Using math and physics, he has created a formula that describes a method for time travel. "People think of time travel as something as fiction," says Tippett.

One consequence of the mathematical nature of the universe is that scientists could in theory predict every observation or measurement in physics. Tegmark pointed out that mathematics predicted ...

BA Mathematics and BS Physics ’20. Why did you choose to double major in math? I started off my Drexel career as a physics major. At some point, I realized that many physics topics required a ...

Math and Physics Can’t Prove All Truths. ... For example, it will never be possible to clarify how many real numbers exist within the mathematical framework currently in use.

Because I wanted to use it myself. I was interested in physics from a young age, and I started doing physics research when I was in my early teens, in the mid-1970s. I didn’t like doing all the ...

It's not a math class, but students should still use math. It's not an art class, but students should still be able to draw force diagrams. Physics is not ONE THING in isolation from all other things.

Atiyah helped to end a period of estrangement between physics and math, which Freeman Dyson (who at 95 is safely referred to as a living legend) talked about at the symposium.
