A new synthesis of seismic research shows that artificial intelligence, when combined with physical principles, is rapidly ...

Methods for solving linear, ordinary, and partial differential equations of mathematical physics. Green's functions, distribution theory, integral equations, transforms, potential theory, diffusion ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool for mapping the invisible, with theorists now arguing that ripples in ...

According to quantum mechanics, the physics theory that describes the zoo of subatomic particles, all matter can be described as both particles and waves. But is it real? When you purchase through ...

Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and the Euler equation top a poll to find the greatest equations of all time. Robert P Crease discusses the results of his reader survey First among equals – ...
