In one of David Lodge's comic novels about academia, the English-professor characters play a game called "Humiliation," where they take turns admitting classic works of literature that they haven't ...

It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows many math patterns very ...

Explicit learning goals Interactive lectures Transformed homework problems (including a "bank" of potential HW problems) Common student difficulties & in-class group activities/tutorials Concept tests ...

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 ...

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 ...

For many undergraduate students, exploring the complexities of physics for the first time, from wading through advanced ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and ...

Recent advances in imaging technology allow evaluation of biologic processes and events as they occur in vivo. For example, new magnetic resonance and radioisotope imaging methods reflect anatomy and ...

Over the past century, quantum field theory has proved to be the single most sweeping and successful physical theory ever invented. It is an umbrella term that encompasses many specific quantum field ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When it comes to describing the physical world, we can do it ...

A team of researchers from Poland have developed new mathematical methods that could help enable better control of quantum entanglement and teleportation experiments Artistic representation of quantum ...
