Could all of math be reduced to a single operation? This theoretical physicist says yes, and he's found it
It’s not often a math paper goes viral, but a new preprint from a theoretical physicist at Poland’s Jagiellonian University has well and truly bucked the trend. Why? Because it seems to reduce all of ...
BYU mathematics professor Doug Corey and a team of students created a YouTube channel devoted to applying theoretical math concepts to real-world problems. Imagine this: the BYU Cougars men’s ...
Monstrous moonshine, a quirky pattern of the monster group in theoretical math, has a shadow -- umbral moonshine. Mathematicians have now proved this insight, known as the Umbral Moonshine Conjecture, ...
The more complex, the better. Sitan Chen, 20, loves good theory – when it comes to math, computer science and music. The six-time Carnegie Hall classical pianist from Johns Creek, Georgia, is ...
Last month, six Cornell faculty members received the Simons Fellowship, which provides funding for a research leave. Three received the Theoretical Physics fellowship and three received the ...
Generations of children have pleaded with their parents, “Why do I need to study math?” They are told of such practical uses as counting money, following recipes, or comparing baseball averages. Ngo ...
