The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Quantum Physics in Modern Mathematics - Robbert Dijkgraaf

Order: Reorder
Duration: 59:56
Updated: 30 Mar 2015

Robbert Dijkgraaf, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics March 5th, 2014 ---- Mathematics has proven to be "unreasonably effective" in understanding nature. The fundamental laws of physics can be captured in beautiful formulae. In this lecture I want to argue for the reverse effect: Nature is an important source of inspiration for mathematics, even of the purest kind. In recent years ideas from quantum field theory, elementary particles physics and string theory have completely transformed mathematics, leading to solutions of deep problems, suggesting new invariants in geometry and topology, and, perhaps most importantly, putting modern mathematical ideas in a `natural’ context. ---- visit Perimeter Institute's website to find this and other speakers http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/video-library http://pirsa.org/

James Clerk Maxwell: The Greatest Victorian Mathematical Physicists - Professor Raymond Flood

Order: Reorder
Duration: 52:32
Updated: 28 Nov 2012

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was one of the most important mathematical physicists of all time, after only Newton and Einstein. Within a relatively short lifetime he made enormous contributions to science which this lecture will survey. Foremost among these was the formulation of the theory of electromagnetism with light, electricity and magnetism all shown to be manifestations of the electromagnetic field. He also made major contributions to the theory of colour vision and optics, the kinetic theory of gases and thermodynamics, and the understanding of the dynamics and stability of Saturn's rings. This talk was a part of the conference on '19th Century Mathematical Physics', held jointly by Gresham College and the British Society of the History of Mathematics. The transcript and downloadable versions of all of the lectures are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/19th-century-mathematical-physics Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There is currently nearly 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website.

STUDY MUSIC: Math and Physics Exams, Concentration Music, Brain Power Music, Focus on Learning

STUDY MUSIC: Math and Physics Exams, Concentration Music, Brain Power Music, Focus on Learning Click Here To Subscribe! ► http://goo.gl/F8CSkV Focus on Learning Music Neuroscience professionals recently studied these personal experiences by using objective methods to track the effects of early exposure to music and speech processing. The results were published in The Journal of Neuroscience. The studies concluded that studying music at an early age provides a variety of benefits for the brain through an entire lifetime. Benefits from a Focus on Learning Music Enjoy a variety of benefits, and study music at the same time. Direct experience is the best way to understand how concentration music can improve mental endurance. Individuals often wonder at this point if there is a difference in the type of music used for the following purposes: • Music for studying • Brain power music • Learning music • Music for exam The first important consideration involves the musical form itself, and the second consideration involves the background of the individual. All children experience music as an auditory experience, and this is true for written music as well as music with little or no musical notation. Concentration Music For Studying For the purposes of understanding the different elements at play when studying music for concentration, the two primary forms of music available are categorized as either written or oral. However, there is a significant amount of overlap between these two categories. For the purpose of using music to focus on learning, notation is a secondary device used primarily for documenting musical memories. Music to Study, and the Studying Playlist Instrumental music presents unique intellectual challenges, and it demands a high degree of coordination between the eyes, the ears and the hands. It does not take long to study music before obtaining benefits. Vocal music attracts people because the human voice has universal appeal. Selecting the right music to study usually involves listening with concentration to various elements including dynamic range, texture, counterpoint, harmony and rhythm. Research on studying music for concentration provides the basis for a school curriculum that helps students to focus on learning math and science by learning music first. The results are impressive. For example, a long study of music can help students get accepted into medical schools. It has also been linked to improved performance in the following areas: • Increased focus on learning • Pattern recognition • Doing homework • Exam preparation • College math • University applications • Study skills Instrumental music often relies heavily on musical notation, which is the foundation for abstract thinking and pattern recognition. Many professionals started their careers by enrolling in a program to study music. These successful professionals subsequently perceived the value of studying music for intellectual endurance, and they applied these skills to business writing, problem-solving, computer work and doing homework. Future professionals can develop a variety of transferable skills through: • Concentration music • Music for studying • Music for exams • Intellectual endurance • Business writing • Problem-solving • Computer work • Research and study skills Different areas of the brain light up and become active during a positive listening experience. This is why the most important consideration when developing a musical playlist is to use a musical style that is received with positive attention. Here is a recommended musical studying playlist that combines different forms of concentration music for studying from around the world: • Traditional African drumming patterns • Beethoven violin concerto • Classical Indian ragas • Meditation chants • Chopin piano music Concentration Music for Working These musical forms are effective learning tools, but they also generate good results as concentration music for working. Employees who use brain power music on the job experience less fatigue and enjoy a higher morale than employees in workplaces where music is not utilized. http://youtu.be/mkTYE_24TOE
