To begin to understand what mathematicians and physicists see in the abstract structures of symmetries, let’s start with a familiar shape. We are fond of saying things are symmetric, but what does ...

The Structure and Symmetry theme comprises researchers in algebra, geometry and topology, together with their interactions with computer science, and in mathematical physics, together with its ...

Why Beauty is Truth by Ian Stewart, a mathematician at the University of Warwick in the UK, is a historical account of the evolution of mathematics into modern physics right up to the era of ...

This unit develops the introduction to inorganic chemistry given in CHEM 10600/800 to provide the essential base of inorganic chemistry required for advanced study at Levels 6 and 7 (Years 3 and 4).

Though galaxies look larger than atoms and elephants appear to outweigh ants, some physicists have begun to suspect that size differences are illusory. Perhaps the fundamental description of the ...

We are fond of saying things are symmetric, but what does that really mean? Intuitively we have a sense of symmetry as a kind of mirroring. Suppose we draw a vertical line through the middle of a ...

The vast majority of organic molecules (based on a carbon structure) are not flat, but have a three-dimensional geometry.
