Langlands Program, the World’s Biggest Math’s Project | 30 Nov 2023

• Dr. Langlands won the Abel Prize in 2018, a top honor in mathematics, for his groundbreaking work connecting representation theory to number theory.
  • The Program aims to link two distant areas of mathematics: number theory and harmonic analysis.
    • Number theory studies numbers and their relationships, focusing on arithmetic.
  • Harmonic analysis explores periodic phenomena, dealing with continuous mathematical objects such as waves, in contrast to the discrete arithmetic of number theorists who work with integers.
