A digest of my opening remarks at the 2011 Hadron Collider Physics Symposium.

The author recalls general tendencies of the "mathematization" of the sciences and derives challenges and tentative obstructions for a successful merger of mathematics and physics on fancied steps towards "Quantum Gravity". This is an…

This is a brief digest of my closing lecture at the XXII Rencontres de Blois, Particle Physics and Cosmology. Slides of all the talks referred to may be found at http://confs.obspm.fr/Blois2010.

A slightly extended version, with a footnote added on December 19, 1997, of a contributed Abstract to the Eight Marcel Grossmann Meeting, Jerusalem, June 1997.

Talk given at ICM '98, Berlin, reviewing some of the recent developments in understanding of string theory for a mathematical audience (to appear in Documenta Mathematica).

Since I first became enthralled with physics as a teenager, I've been intrigued by the philosophical aspects of the discipline. As I approached the end of my career as an experimental physicist and observational astronomer (I'm now…

Recently uncovered archives at the University of Franche-Comt\'e in Besan\c{c}on (France) reveal a rich history of research and teaching in physics since the Faculty of Science was first established in 1845. Here, we describe a selection of…

In the 80th anniversary book for Alex M\"uller I wrote a story of our scientific collaboration, Shared Fascinations. This time I will be more personal, about the human side of our collaboration and encounters, while also referring to…

Invited lecture at Int. School on Particles and Cosmology, Baksan Valley, 1993

These are the lecture notes for a short course on geometric quantization given by the author at the XVIII Modave Summer School on Mathematical Physics, Sep 5 - Sep 9.

The present review aims both to offer some motivations and mathematical prerequisites for a study of NCG from the viewpoint of a theoretical physicist and to show a few applications to matrix theory and results obtained. Lectures given by…

We begin herewith the editing of physics notes taken in the course of Journal Club seminars at INFN-LNF in 1996. The activity consists of informal talks about work in progress and/or review of (more or less) recent physics results of…

The 9th International Workshop on Physics and Computation (PC 2018) was held as a satellite workshop of the 17th International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation (UCNC 2018) in Fontainebleau, France, which was…

The fortieth anniversary of the original construction of Supergravity provides an opportunity to combine some reminiscences of its early days with an assessment of its impact on the quest for a quantum theory of gravity.

In three articles published in CNJ in 2012 and 2016 , we discussed some links between mathematical sciences, coin minting and numismatics. This article is a continuation of this cycle. It tells the story of selected important developments…

We describe our adventures in creating a new first-year course in Experimental Mathematics that uses active learning. We used a state-of-the-art facility, called The Western Active Learning Space, and got the students to "drive the…

This is a slightly revised version of the Presidential address (General) delivered at the 84th Annual Conference of the Indian Mathematical Society held at Jammu, India during November 2018.

Honorable Rector, Honorable Professors, and Students of this University: In these times of political and economic struggle and nationalistic fragmentation, it is a particular joy for me to see people assembling here to give their attention…

Summary talk at ICHEP 2002, Amsterdam, July 2002. I have kept very close to the content and style of the talk as it was delivered. You may access the associated PowerPoint presentation through a link at…

This is a revised version of the course notes handed to each participant at the limits of mathematics short course, Orono, Maine, June 1994.
