Mathematics' future

Physical Mathematics and the Future

These are some thoughts meant to accompany one of the summary talks at Strings2014, Princeton, June 27, 2014. This is a snapshot of a personal and perhaps heterodox view of the relation of Physics and Mathematics, together with some guesses about some of the directions forward in the field of Physical Mathematics. At least, this is my view as of July 21, 2014.

Equity in Tertiary Mathematics: Imaging a Future

Current economically driven reforms in higher education have demanded that educators develop teaching strategies that are sustainable within new contexts. Often these developments appear to be e ective, but caution needs to be exercised as to which students are likely to bene t from, or be excluded from, participation and success in these evolving contexts. This paper identi es issues associate...

Science and Mathematics Teachers of the Future

This paper presents the project Science and Mathematics Teachers of the Future. The aim of the project is to develop and implement a graduate level equivalent degree program in mathematics and science instruction for in-service teachers of lower secondary education. This aim is achieved in the programme through involving the teachers in design, implementation and evaluation of innovative instru...

Mathematics Teaching - Is the Future Syncretic?

Mathematics and Cardiology: Partners for the Future

The human cardiovascular system is so complex that it remains unfeasible to numerically simulate its entire function using even simplified three-dimensional models. However, studying wave propagation in pulsating arteries and local hemodynamics is important in understanding the mechanisms leading to various cardiovascular complications. A major complication is coronary artery disease (CAD). One...
