“THE profound study of Nature is the most fruitful source of mathematical discoveries.” In this quotation from Fourier, Prof. Lamb gives the keynote of his lecture on mathematical physics. He traces ...

IN the six lectures before us, Prof. Prasad gives an interesting account of the part played by partial differential equations in dealing with vibratory phenomena, conduction of heat, gravitational ...

Taken concurrently with EGR/MAT/PHY 191. An integrated course that covers the material of PHY 103 and MAT 201 with the emphasis on applications to engineering. Math topics include: vector calculus; ...

I review the present state of knowledge in elementary particle physics and the questions that we are currently addressing. I discuss the experimental revolutions that might occur at the Large Hadron ...

Within mathematics, there is a vast and ever expanding web of conjectures, theorems and ideas called the Langlands program. That program links seemingly disconnected subfields. It is such a force that ...

Since its establishment, nurturing and supporting early career researchers has been a key part of the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) mission. To inspire young academic leaders and ...

In September, we related that UC Berkeley and Google had teamed up for some "coursecasting," and that Berkeley would be streaming hundreds of hours of course material on Google Video. The project is ...

New findings are fueling an old suspicion that fundamental particles and forces spring from strange eight-part numbers called “octonions.” In 2014, a graduate student at the University of Waterloo, ...
