The course aims to give a brief and self-contained introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum mechanics. Although the materials are related to physics, they are presented in a more ...

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 ...

THIS manual, first published in 1937, has an unusual title, but, as the authors point out in their preface, the book "contains facts and formulas that are useful in courses of mathematics and ...

Using the Schrodinger equation, physicists can interpret the interactions of systems on atomic and subatomic scales in terms of waves as well as particles — a key concept in quantum mechanics that ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Developing fundamental math and mechanics to explain life processes like embryo development, cellular migration and growth could open doors to a new frontier in biology, many ...

THIS new journal is intended to provide a medium for the publication of papers on classical mechanics and mathematical techniques. The first number, dated March 1948, which has recently been issued, ...

Rockmore explains a case made by Freakonomics economist and provocateur Steven Levitt, who says he believes math pedagogy in general needs a big update, including an increased emphasis on statistics ...

Has one of the major outstanding problems in number theory finally been solved? Or is the 600-page proof missing a key piece? The verdict isn’t in yet, but the proof, at least, will finally appear in ...
