The aim of this paper is to clarify the role of category theory in the foundations of mathematics. There is a good deal of confusion surrounding this issue. A standard philosophical strategy in the ...

This paper aims to study the foundations of applied mathematics, using a formalized base theory for applied mathematics: ZFCAσ (Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (with Choice) with atoms, where the ...

It may be worth winding the clock back to 1960, when the physicist Eugene Wigner published an article with the title “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences”. Physics ...

Baking is not my strong point. So when I have houseguests, I dash to a bakery to grab dessert and am often spoiled for choice. Given the huge selection of appetizing cakes and tarts, I find it ...

Presidency University's Department of Mathematics hosted Symmetry '25, drawing nearly 260 participants for a day of lectures, ...

The announcement outlines what the administration plans to champion after canceling hundreds of grants in the past few weeks.

“This tattoo is the Zermelo-Fraenkel with Choice axioms of set theory. These nine axioms are the basis for ZFC set theory, which is the most commonly studied form of set theory and the most well known ...

The future of data science at Yale will reside on one of the top floors of a re-imagined Kline Tower on Science Hill, starting in 2023 — but the university, its researchers, and the new Institute for ...

The scientific rigor of Isaac Newton transformed physics, optics, and even Britain’s money and law, culminating in the Great Recoinage.

Mathematics plays a vital role in our understanding of the world. Our students gain thorough knowledge of mathematical theory and practice, as well as advanced problem-solving skills that can help our ...
