"The universe cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word".

Galileo Galilei - Il Saggiatore (1623)

The Geometry and Physics Seminar is a joint initiative of the Geometry and Physics Group of the Department of Theoretical Physics of the Horia Hulubei Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering and the Simion Stoilow Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy. The seminar involves Romanian and foreign scientists with various national and international affiliations.
