About this Event
Speaker: Prof. Yang-Hui He (London Institute for Mathematical Sciences)
Title: Mathematics & Physics: An Entangled Tango
Abstract: We invite the audience to enjoy that intricate dance between theoretical physics and pure mathematics over the centuries, how they are constantly feeding each other new ideas, whilst distinguishing between mathematical physics and physical mathematics. We shall focus especially on contemporary developments such as string theory, and why this attempt of unified theory of everything is still very much relevant.
Date: Thursday 5 December, 6pm.
Venue: George Moore Auditorium, O’Brien Centre for Science, UCD
About the speaker: As well as a Fellow at LIMS, Prof. Yang-Hui He is a professor of physics at the University of London. He works on string theory and machine learning.
