At a lecture in 1939, Paul Dirac said that “pure mathematics and physics are becoming ever more closely connected”. He went on to say that the two subjects might unify, with “every branch of pure ...

The Universe Speaks in Numbers: How Modern Maths Reveals Nature’s Deepest Secrets Graham Farmelo Faber & Faber (2019) Mathematics is an immensely powerful tool for understanding the laws of the ...

Physicists avoid highly mathematical work despite being trained in advanced mathematics, new research suggests. The study, published in the New Journal of Physics, shows that physicists pay less ...

Harvard Math professor Lauren K. Williams ’00 was named a recipient of the 2025 MacArthur Fellowship, the foundation ...

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 ...

Unique in its application of a mathematical model to understand how the brain transitions from consciousness to unconscious behavior, a study may have just advanced neuroscience appreciably. The ...
