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 ...
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 ...
How Emmy Noether's theorem uses the Lagrangian to provide a formula for calculating the quantity of symmetries in a ...
Last week, I introduced Emmy Noether, an extraordinary figure in the fields of mathematics and physics. To understand Noether ...
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 ...
This article is the first part of a series about quantum field theory published by Quanta Magazine. Other stories in the series can be found here. Over the past century, quantum field theory has ...
How do physicists reconstruct what really happened in a particle collision? Through calculations that are so challenging that, in some cases, they simply can’t be done. Yet. It’s one thing to smash ...
In this video, I explain the importance of having a basic understanding of Math and Physics for aspiring airline pilots. I cover the ATPL subjects that involve calculations and share a few examples of ...
Post-pandemic, some educators are trying to reengage students with technology—like videos, computer gaming or artificial intelligence, just to name a few. But integrating these approaches in the ...
Patterns appear widely throughout nature and math, from the Fibonacci spirals of sea shells to the periodicity of crystals. But certain math problems can sometimes trick the human solver into seeing a ...
