2 de may. de 2019 · Witten Interview. Posted on May 2, 2019 by woit. Graham Farmelo has posted a very interesting interview he did with Witten last year, as part of his promotion of his forthcoming book The Universe Speaks in Numbers. One surprising thing I learned from the interview is that Witten learned Calculus when he was 11 (this would have been 1962).

This webpage is the author profile of Edward Witten, one of the most influential theoretical physicists and string theorists. You can find his publications, citations, positions, awards and other details here.
Louis Witten, born in 1921, had previously worked for the Glenn Martin Company on pilotless aircraft, more as an electronics engineer than a theorist, after he left the army in 1946, but before he did his PhD in physics.
Abstract: (arXiv) This article--summarizing the authors' then novel formulation of General Relativity--appeared as Chapter 7 of an often cited compendium edited by L. Witten in 1962, which is now long out of print. Intentionally unretouched, this posting is intended to provide contemporary accessibility to the flavor of the original ideas.
