The program is targeted to students with an undergraduate degree in mathematics or other quantitative disciplines such as computer science, statistics, economics and engineering. Through foundational and advanced coursework, students …
Quanta recently featured an article on the settlement of the Langlands conjecture, and our own Dima Arinkin was one of the people involved in the proof. This problem, first presented by Robert Langlands, a professor at Princeton, in 1967. The Langlands conjecture holds sway in three separate areas of mathematics: number theory, geometry and something …
