Office hours: Monday and Wednesday 11-12

Math 18.177 covers a series of topics motivated by statistical mechanics, conformal field theory, and string theory. Many of these topics arise naturally and independently in mathematics (e.g., in complex analysis, combinatorics, geometry, and the study of Brownian motion). No physics background is required for the course. The course will have four main components: Lionel Levine will be an occasional guest lecturer.
