Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...

For every popular list of unsolved problems, there are scholars and students dreaming of -- and working towards -- solving the puzzles they contain. Many search for creative solutions, only to reach ...

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 ...

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 ...

Classical physics is characterized by the equations describing the world. Yet our day-to-day experience is struck by this deterministic vision of the world. A physicist has been analyzing the ...

Mathematicians are working to bring quantum field theory (QFT) into mainstream mathematics. In this illustration, three exotic particles called “anyons” circle around each other in a process called ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most popular ideas have one thing in common: they begin from a mathematical framework that seeks to explain more things than our currently ...

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 ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

Linked in: art meets maths in this crochet Lorenz model to be presented at the Bridges conference. (Courtesy: Hinke Osinga and Bernd Krauskopf, University of Auckland) Mathematicians from around the ...

Mathematical physics is an interdisciplinary field that employs rigorous mathematical methodologies to elucidate and model physical phenomena. It draws upon diverse areas such as differential geometry ...
