In the later part of the century, attitudes changed. When the 1998 film Good Will Hunting featured a famous mathematician at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who had won a Fields Medal for combinatorics, many found this somewhat unbelievable.2 However, life followed art in this case when, later in the same year, Fields Medals were awarded to Richard Borcherds and Tim Gowers for work mu...

We identified the frequency of and reasons for operation cancellations after patients entered the operating room and assessed the preventability of such cancellations.

Cosmological Perturbations: Entering the Non-Linear Regime

We consider one-loop corrections (non-linear corrections beyond leading order) to the bispectrum and skewness of cosmological density fluctuations induced by gravitational evolution, focusing on the case of Gaussian initial conditions and scale-free initial power spectra, P (k) ∝ k. As has been established by comparison with numerical simulations, tree-level (leading order) perturbation theory ...
