Overview
About the program
The histories of mathematics and physics are closely intertwined with many of the key discoveries in each made by scientists who were active in both areas. Indeed, throughout history the disciplines have cross-fertilized each other. Already existing mathematics has often proved to be "unreasonably effective" in describing reality while conversely, efforts to describe and explain physical phenomena have often lead to the development of new mathematics.
Today, with the progress and growth in each, the two fields are more distinct however they remain two of the most closely related sciences. The Interdisciplinary PhD in Theoretical Physics at Memorial University of Newfoundland is aimed at students who wish to work at this interface.
