Theoretical chemistry aims to provide explanations for chemical observations and possibly pose prospective research questions for future experimental research. In today’s research scenario, the diverse interests involved within theoretical chemistry have become more observable. A few exciting research areas where theoretical chemistry plays a significant role are drug-discovery, protein-folding, astro-chemistry, […]

A major component of modern ecology is the study of different species in terms of their interactions, growth, and evolution. Population ecology is a vast and fascinating field that helps us quantify some of the changes that occur in an ecosystem. It enables us to observe patterns in the interaction […]

History and Emergence When a student takes up Mathematics as a career for research, he (she) surely comes across this name Nicolas Bourbaki very soon. Mathematics is built on some basic laws which include definition of Sets, Numbers, their addition and much more. These laws are called Axioms (Peano Axioms […]

I had a pizza craving. I was torn between ordering in and going to the place to get a bite. I order from Domino’s Pizza as their minimum amount for free delivery is lower than in other pizza places.  I have never actually been to Domino’s Pizza in Kaiserslautern. A […]

When Nandu was in grade seven, her pastime during commute was to observe high school students. The only other way, apart from the apparent difference in uniform, to spot a high school senior was the peeking of Clark’s Tables from their bags. The maroon book was intimidating with the statement […]

The aim of this is not that you will see the many uses of group theory in daily life and instantly realize what an amazing subject it is. Nor is it to motivate it via it’s thrilling history (read about how Galois died). The aim is to strip group theory […]

As a mathematician, most people think I spend my time with writing mystical symbols on blackboards and solving problems nobody is interested in. Of course this is not true, I just try to find symplectic numerical integrators for Hamiltonian systems… But for some reason, telling people this doesn’t help to […]
