Modular forms, the 'fifth fundamental operation' of math (2023) quantamagazine.org 87 points by rolph 5 days ago
mjd 5 days ago I thought this was not up to Quanta's usual standards. What's an accessible introduction to modular forms, let's say for a grad student who has the appropriate prerequisites but is about to meet them for the first time. williamstein 4 days ago I wrote one https://wstein.org/books/modform/README.html mjd 4 days ago Thank you! rolph 5 days ago group theory, the M group [the Monsters], and meditations, regarding what curvature really is.im attempting to understand what space-time actually is from a geometric perspective.im exploring the idea of space-time confinement, as similar to quark-gluon confinement[edit] quick link to the basics: https://www.math.uci.edu/~ndonalds/math120a/notes.pdf [PDF]https://quantum.phys.cmu.edu/qm2/qmc151.pdf[pdf] tprice7 4 days ago Diamond & Shurman
