String theory at the frontiers of physics and mathematics

Students are often introduced to mathematics in a way that does not emphasise the vast interplay that is happening between the frontier of pure mathematics and theoretical physics.

In this lecture, you will get a flavour of how these interactions take shape in string theory, one of the leading candidate theories for our understanding of fundamental physics, which is also shaping many current trends in geometry, algebra, and analysis.

This event is part of our Masterclasses series and is open to Year 12 students.
