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 ...

In this video, we explain vectors and derivatives as essential math methods used in physics, showing how they describe motion, direction, and change. Clear explanations and examples help connect ...

Some of the world's top mathematicians and theoretical physicists gather on campus this weekend for a conference in honor of one of the pioneers of the field, Professor Albert Schwarz of the UC Davis ...

Everybody knows that quantum physics is weird, right? Indeed, quantum physicist Richard Feynman once said in a lecture: “The theory of quantum electrodynamics describes Nature as absurd from the point ...

Specialized A redesigned A-level maths could focus on the needs of physics and non-physics students. (Courtesy: iStock/SolStock) Early in my teaching career, I had a rather uncomfortable exchange with ...

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 ...

2018 Breakthrough Prizes in Life Sciences Awarded to Joanne Chory, Don W. Cleveland, Kazutoshi Mori, Kim Nasmyth, and Peter Walter. 2018 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics Awarded to Charles L.

Many books about science are meant to be pleasure reading. Such books attempt to convey the wonder and fascination and excitement of science, and ideally some of the substance as well. After all, good ...

In a recent X exchange, Telegram founder Pavel Durov urged students to study math for its logic and problem-solving power. Elon Musk replied, advocating for physics—with math. Their posts have ...
