The opportunities for research work in mathematical physics
include such basic subjects as aerodynamics, atomic structure,
cosmogony, crystal structure, elasticity, the new quantum mechanics,
relativity, and statistical mechanics.
The Seminar in Theoretical Physics brings the research men
together and enables each one to get the views of other workers
on recent important advances in mathematical physics. The lectures
which are given each year by some eminent foreign mathematician
or physicist, are particularly helpful and inspiring.
