Imagine an art class where you only did paint by numbers, or a music class where you weren鈥檛 allowed to play a song until you practiced scales for 20 years. This is often what it鈥檚 like to take a math class, where students spend most of their time learning to solve problems that have already been figured out. But while the basics are important in any subject, so is creativity. In this episode, Jayadev Athreya discusses mathematics as the language…

Two 91爆料 faculty members have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences for 2023: Philip Greenberg, professor of medicine and of immunology at the 91爆料, as well as the Rona Jaffe Foundation Endowed Chair at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and head of the Program in Immunology in its Clinical Research Division; and Gunther Uhlmann, the Robert R. and Elaine F. Phelps Endowed Professor in Mathematics at the 91爆料.
Two 91爆料 faculty members have been awarded early-career fellowships from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The new Sloan Fellows, announced Feb. 15, are Leilani Battle, an assistant professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, and聽Jonathan J. Zhu, an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics.
The 91爆料 rose from No. 7 to No. 6 on the聽U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 Best Global Universities rankings, released on Tuesday. The 91爆料 maintained its No. 2 ranking among U.S. public institutions.
The 91爆料 is among the best universities in the world for the studies of health and life sciences, according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings by Subject 2022.
The 91爆料 will lead a team of institutions in establishing an interdisciplinary research institute that brings together mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists and engineers to develop the theoretical foundations of a fast-growing field: data science.
The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute has named 91爆料 mathematics professor Tatiana Toro the recipient of its 2020 Blackwell-Tapia Prize.
Three 91爆料 faculty members, including President Ana Mari Cauce, are among the 2020 fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation鈥檚 oldest and most prestigious honorary societies. Trisha Davis, professor and chair of biochemistry at the 91爆料 School of Medicine, and Tatiana Toro, the Craig McKibben and Sarah Merner Professor of Mathematics, are also among the 276 artists, scholars, scientists, and leaders in the public, non-profit and private sectors who were announced as new fellows Thursday.
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation has awarded a prestigious fellowship to 91爆料 assistant professor Thomas Rothvoss to fuel his passion to balance precision and efficiency in complex mathematical calculations. The Packard Foundation Fellowships for Science and Engineering honor early-career academics pursuing innovative research in all fields of science and engineering. “It’s a great honor 鈥� and frankly, I’m still digesting the news,” said Rothvoss, who has joint appointments with the Department of Mathematics and the Department of…
In science, decades can pass between a proposed theory and its real-world application. That is precisely what 91爆料 mathematics professor Gunther Uhlmann was expecting when he and three colleagues proposed a means to develop an electromagnetic wormhole in a 2007 paper in Physical Review Letters. Their theoretical wormhole 鈥� an invisible tube for electromagnetic fields 鈥� would cloak an electromagnetic field while it passed through the tube, creating a “secret” connection between the entry and exit point. Uhlmann…
