A scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a host of ...

For every popular list of unsolved problems, there are scholars and students dreaming of -- and working towards -- solving the puzzles they contain. Many search for creative solutions, only to reach ...

In physics, the conundrum known as the 'few-body problem,' how three or more interacting particles behave, has bedeviled scientists for centuries. Equations that describe the physics of few-body ...

Students who are interested in applying mathematics to real world or physics problems are the best fit for mathematical physics, says Associate Professor Konstantin Izyurov. We have several core ...

The four-color map problem can be understood by a bright fourth-grader (the question: whether four colors are enough to ensure that no two countries with a common border share a color). By junior high ...

THIS tract is an authoritative exposition of problems of radiative equilibrium by one of the original workers in the subject. An initial chapter gives a summary of the general theory and main problem ...

Mathematical physicist Elliott Lieb has been selected to receive the 2022 APS Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research for “major contributions to theoretical physics through obtaining exact ...

The aim of mathematical physics is to adapt concept and methods of pure mathematics to study physical problems. A student interested in mathematical physics may choose to have as a major for her/his ...

Computational physics jobs involve calculations and formulas. It combines physics, computer science and applied mathematics in order to provide scientific solutions to realistic and often complex ...
