“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 ...

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 ...

A former graduate student reflects on how Isadore Singer, who died on February 11, brought together mathematicians, physicists and anyone else interested in the deeper connections between diverse ...

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, ...
