The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Calculus is a powerful mathematical tool. But for hundreds of years after its invention in the 17th century, it stood on a shaky ...

Real and complex functions form the backbone of modern mathematical analysis, uniting the study of continuity, differentiability, and integrability on the real line with the rich structure of analytic ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – When students begin to study calculus, equations and their graphs are mostly drawn on a “flat” plane. It’s when students proceed to advanced calculus that they find paper and pencil ...

Plurisubharmonic functions form a central tool in the study of several complex variables, offering a robust framework for analysing complex phenomena via potential theory. These functions, which are ...

This course will introduce you to the theory of functions of complex variables, which is a core area of mathematics. It is a basic tool in many mathematical theories. We will cover complex numbers and ...

Back in 1948, the journal Physical Review published a paper entitled “Space-Time Approach to Quantum Electrodynamics” by a young physicist named R.P. Feynman at Cornell University. The paper described ...
