There has been significant recent progress in observational cosmology. This, in turn, has provided an unprecedented picture of the early universe and its evolution. In this review I will present a (biased) view of how one can use these…

These are lecture notes based on the first part of a course on 'Mathematical Data Science', which I taught to final year BSc students in the UK in 2019-2020. Topics include: concentration of measure in high dimensions; Gaussian random…

We present an innovative approach to dimensional analysis, referred to as augmented dimensional analysis and based on a representation theorem for complete quantity functions with a scaling-covariant scalar representation. This new theorem,…

When education researchers describe newly developed curricular materials, they typically concentrate on the research base behind their design, and the efficacy of the final products, but do not highlight the initial stages of creating the…

Recently, the HCI community has seen an increased interest in applying Virtual Reality (VR), AugmentedReality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) into educational settings. Despite many literature reviews, there stilllacks a clear framework that…

This document is an introduction to and review of two-dimensional mathematical physics. The reader is introduced to the subject matter primarily through problems, which are presented along with detailed worked solutions. For each chapter,…

This is a kind of introduction to some basic topics in analysis, some of which would be covered in standard graduate courses, and some not. However, an important difference is that not much in the way of prerequisites are needed, beyond…

The aim of this paper is to present a didactical sequence that fosters the development of meanings related to fractions, conceived as numbers that can be placed on the number line. The sequence was carried out in various elementary school…

Many have argued that statistics students need additional facility to express statistical computations. By introducing students to commonplace tools for data management, visualization, and reproducible analysis in data science and applying…

We give a brief summary of present bounds on the size of possible extra-dimensions from collider experiments.

Pointwise tangential dimensions are introduced for metric spaces. Under regularity conditions, the upper, resp. lower, tangential dimensions of X at x can be defined as the supremum, resp. infimum, of box dimensions of the tangent sets, a…

We discuss the most elementary properties of the hyperbolic trigonometry and show how they can be exploited to get a simple, albeit interesting, geometrical interpretation of the special relativity. It yields indeed a straightforword…

A brief introduction to exterior differential systems for graduate students familiar with manifolds and differential forms. For complete files, see https://github.com/Ben-McKay/introduction-to-exterior-differential-systems

Incremental learning is the ability of systems to acquire knowledge over time, enabling their adaptation and generalization to novel tasks. It is a critical ability for intelligent, real-world systems, especially when data changes…

These lectures are a brief introduction to supersymmetry.

This article addresses the logistics of implementing projects in an undergraduate mathematics class and is intended both for new instructors and for instructors who have had negative experiences implementing projects in the past. Project…

Metaverse has evolved as one of the popular research agendas that let the users learn, socialize, and collaborate in a networked 3D immersive virtual world. Due to the rich multimedia streaming capability and immersive user experience with…

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, large language models (LLMs) have become a hot research topic. Education plays an important role in human social development and progress. Traditional education faces…

This opening editorial aims to interest researchers and encourage novel research in the closely related fields of sociophysics and computational social science. We briefly discuss challenges and possible research directions in the study of…

Since the dawn of the new millennium, there has been a revived interest in the concept of extra dimensions.In this scenario all the standard model matter and gauge fields are confined to the 4 dimensions and only gravity can escape to…
