Combinatorics and physics Combinatorics and physics Combinatorial physics or physical combinatorics is the area of interaction between physics and combinatorics. "Combinatorial Physics is an emerging area which unites combinatorial and discrete mathematical techniques applied to theoretical physics, especially Quantum Theory.". "Physical combinatorics might be defined naively as combinatorics guided by ideas or insights from physics". Combinatorics has always played an important role in quantum field theory and statistical physics. However, combinatorial physics only emerged as a specific field after a seminal work by Alain Connes and Dirk Kreimer, showing that the renormalization of Feynman diagrams can be described by a Hopf algebra. Combinatorial
The Theoretical Minimum was published in 2017. This covers Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory Lectures in the remaining three courses, on are available on-line as video recordings. Further lecture courses in the Theoretical Minimum series have been delivered by Prof. Susskind, on and these are also available on-line as video recordings. The Theoretical Minimum The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics () is a popular science book by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky. The book was initially published on January 29, 2013 by Basic Books. The book is a mathematical introduction to various theoretical physics concepts, such
