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 ...

Last week, I introduced Emmy Noether, an extraordinary figure in the fields of mathematics and physics. To understand Noether’s reasoning, we need to talk a bit more about the fundamentals of ...

The laws of physics that concern heat and work could gain a firmer mathematical footing thanks to “gauge theory”, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mathematics is full of weird number systems that most people have never heard of and would have trouble even conceptualizing. But rational numbers are familiar. They’re the counting numbers and the ...

In this video, I explain why a basic understanding of Math and Physics is essential for anyone aspiring to become an airline ...

Austrian economics does not share the same methodology as we see in the economics mainstream. The Austrian emphasis on ...

"From my own knowledge of these things, physics is not something that girls tend to fancy. They don't want to do it … There's a lot of hard math in there that I think that they would rather not do," ...

In this video, I explain the importance of having a basic understanding of Math and Physics for aspiring airline pilots. I ...
