All interested students, faculty and staff are invited to attend the Society of Physics Students organizational meeting for the reading/discussion group. The book for spring term is “The Elegant Universe” by Columbia University Professor Brian Greene.
“The Elegant Universe” is an insider’s account of the development of superstring theory, currently one of the most active areas of research in both mathematics and physics. Despite the heavy nature of the subject, Professor Greene’s book is very accessible to the interested layman. Copies will be available in the university bookstore.
