Bridging Wolfram Models and Mathematical Physics

Austin, April 17-19

The Wolfram Institute is hosting an event aimed at connecting diverse areas of mathematical physics with Wolfram models. We are inviting researchers interested in discrete methods in physics and open to exploring new paradigms. The format is designed to be highly collaborative, including short presentations, conversations with Stephen Wolfram and intensive discussion sessions.

The expected outputs of this event will be longer-term projects leading to co-authored papers and new computational tool packages. This event is intended for academics and researchers in physics, mathematics and computer science.
