Monstrous moonshine, a quirky pattern of the monster group in theoretical math, has a shadow -- umbral moonshine. Mathematicians have now proved this insight, known as the Umbral Moonshine Conjecture, ...
Generations of children have pleaded with their parents, “Why do I need to study math?” They are told of such practical uses as counting money, following recipes, or comparing baseball averages. Ngo ...
Last month, six Cornell faculty members received the Simons Fellowship, which provides funding for a research leave. Three received the Theoretical Physics fellowship and three received the ...
For a lot of students with a passion for math, it’s all about the numbers. They love the structure of it, the consistency of it. They love the formulas, that one plus one will always equal two. For ...
