Welcome to Stevens! As you begin your college journey (hopefully as a Duck!) I thought I would write this week’s column in a style more like “vintage” submissions from For Math’s Sake’s early days ...

This four-day mathematical physics conference takes place in Helsinki, September 3-6, 2024. It covers probabilistic and path integral methods in quantum and statistical field theory, highlighting in ...

On Friday I took the train up to London to learn about “the theory that nobody wanted”. That’s how Cambridge University’s Michael Green described string theory in his introduction to a lecture of the ...

Using the path-integral formalism, Ryan Parker, Mark Stedman and Luca Capriotti develop an accurate and easy-to-compute semi-analytical approximation for a general class of default intensity models.

In this paper I develop a new computational method for pricing path-dependent options. Using the path integral representation of the option price, I show that in general it is possible to perform ...

The most powerful formula in physics starts with a slender S, the symbol for a sort of sum known as an integral. Further along comes a second S, representing a quantity known as action. Together, ...

Accumulating evidence indicates that the foundation of mammalian spatial orientation and learning is based on an internal network that can keep track of relative position and orientation (from an ...
