PsyberSpace: Understand Your WorldThe Psychological Power of Art and Creativity: Why We Create and How It Shapes UsThe Psychological Power of Art and Creativity: Exploring Why We CreateIn this episode of PsyberSpace, hosted by Leslie Poston, we explore the profound psychological impact of art and creativity. Using examples like Dylan Thomas's poem 'Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night' and Maya Angelou's 'Still I Rise,' the episode delves into why art moves us and how creativity nurtures our mental well-being. The discussion touches on how art activates brain reward centers, fosters empathy, and acts as a form of resistance and resilience, especially for marginalized communities. The episode also emphasizes the therapeutic...2025-01-2718 min

Sein ganzes Leben hat Michael Atiyah der Mathematik und später auch der Physik gewidmet. Obwohl er 1929 in London zur Welt kommt, wächst er als Sohn eines libanesischen Schriftstellers und Diplomaten im Sudan, im Libanon und in Ägypten auf und geht dort auch zur Schule. Er ist ein guter Schüler, vor allem im Mathe-Unterricht zeigt sich seine Begabung. Seine Eltern unterstützen ihn, sodass er 1949 an der renommierten Universität in Cambridge ein Mathe-Studium beginnen kann. Dort gehört er zu einer neuen Generation an Mathematikerinnen und Mathematikern: Statt sich mit den...2024-11-0641 min

The Unadulterated Intellect#16 – Isadore Singer and Michael Atiyah: 2004 Abel Prize InterviewIsadore Manuel Singer (May 3, 1924 – February 11, 2021) was an American mathematician. He was an Emeritus Institute Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.
Singer is noted for his work with Michael Atiyah, proving the Atiyah–Singer index theorem in 1962, which paved the way for new interactions between pure mathematics and theoretical physics. In early 1980s, while a professor at Berkeley, Singer co-founded the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) with Shiing-Shen Chern and Calvin Moore.

Astronomía Al Aire¿DEMOSTRADA LA HIPÓTESIS DE RIEMANN?Héctor Rago
Si alguien te dijera que demostró la hipótesis de Riemann, es un buen consejo apostar a que es mentira. Pero si esa persona se llama Michael Atiyah, entonces hay que pensarlo dos veces. ¿Hipótesis de Riemann? ¿Por qué es importante? ¿cuál es el revuelo en las redes y la agitación en los predios de las matemáticas? ¿Quién es Michael Atiyah?

The Universe Speaks in NumbersThe Universe Speaks in Numbers: Simon Donaldson interviewed by Graham FarmeloThe discoveries the Simon Donaldson made in the early 1980s about four-dimensional spaces 'stunned the mathematical world', his research adviser Michael Atiyah later recalled. Donaldson was using the physicists' theory of particle interactions to study space itself – with truly remarkable results. In this podcast, Donaldson recalls how he became interested in physics, remembers his most famous discoveries and looks forward to an increasingly close relationship between mathematicians and physicists.This is one of a series of interviews given by world-class experts to Graham on the themes he explores in his new book The Universe Speaks in Nu...2019-10-2416 min

In an interview with Graham in November 2018, Sir Michael Atiyah described how he became a ‘quasi-physicist. Ten weeks later, Atiyah was dead. He was one of the most accomplished mathematicians of the past century: no one had done more in the past decades to discover close links between pure mathematics and fundamental physics. Undoubtedly a great mind, he was also an indomitable spirit.Read more in Graham Farmelo's book The Universe Speaks in Numbers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more in...2019-09-0226 min

Physics and mathematics seem to be in ‘pre-established harmony’, a phrase that has long been popular with physicists and mathematicians working at the subjects’ interface. Greg Moore, based at Rutgers University, has discovered many surprising new relationships between quantum field theories and the string framework and concepts in contemporary mathematics. In this interview, he eloquently describes examples of this and explains why he is promoting the notion of ‘physical mathematics’, a discipline that he believes is now well established, with a bright future.

The Secrets of MathematicsOxford Mathematics Public Lectures - Numbers are Serious but they are also Fun - Michael AtiyahArchimedes, who famously jumped out of his bath shouting "Eureka", also 'invented' the number pi. Euler invented e and had fun with his formula e^(2 pi i) = 1. The world is full of important numbers waiting to be invented. Why not have a go? Michael Atiyah is one of the world's leading mathematicians and a pivotal figure in twentieth and twenty-first century mathematics. His lecture is followed by an interview with Sir John Ball, Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy here in Oxford, where Michael talks about his lecture, his work and his life as a mathematician.
