Professor Adam Sikora is helping advance and popularize the growing field of quantum topology, which connects topology and geometry with quantum physics through surprising cross-fertilization of ideas ...
When 50 mathematicians spend a week in the woods, there’s no telling what will happen. And that’s the point. In February, before the COVID-19 pandemic locked down cities and closed borders, I spent ...
When students are genuinely curious about new concepts and ideas, they develop their own study skills, says Professor Pekka Pankka. Geometry, Algebra, and Topology are pure mathematics and essential ...
Machine learning is revolutionizing fundamental science by tackling long-standing mathematical challenges. A key example is ...
US mathematician Dennis Sullivan has won one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics, for his contributions to topology—the study of qualitative properties of shapes—and related fields.
Faculty carry out research on many areas of the mathematical sciences. The department has particular strengths in Algebraic Geometry, Geometry and Topology, and Number Theory and Representation Theory ...
The Math 8806-8807 sequence will cover the following topics: Group Theory (Group actions, Sylow, Nilpotent/Solvable, simple groups, Jordan-Holder series, presentations); commutative algebra ...
