In this lecture, John Milnor, Co-Director of the Institute for
Mathematical Sciences at Stony Brook University and a former member
of the Faculty of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for
Advanced Study (1970–90), offers commentary on the...
Quantum theory radically transforms our fundamental
understanding of physical reality. It reveals that the world
contains a hidden richness of structure that we have barely begun
to control and exploit. In this lecture, Frank Wilczek indicates
the...
The NLSE is relevant for the explorations of Bose-Einstein
Condensates and for Nonlinear Classical Optics. In presence of a
random potential it can be used to study the competition between
Anderson localization, that is characteristic of linear...
In this talk I will insult your intelligence by showing a
non-original proof of the Central Limit Theorem, with
not-particularly-good error bounds. However, the proof is very
simple and flexible, allowing generalizations to multidimensional
and...
