Harris Hill is offering several Maths teaching positions with leading independent schools in London and the South East of England from September 2025. These are permanent positions which would entail teaching Maths up to A level.
Essential: An excellent academic background including an undergraduate degree in Maths or related discipline.
The Graduate Program in Mathematics and Applications of PSL University is offering scholarships for students willing to enroll in the PSL Master of Mathematics (M1 or M2) for 2025-2026.
The teaching language is English and the program is based on the research team in mathematics at CEREMADE (Paris Dauphine-PSL), at DMA (Ecole Normale Supérieure - PSL), at Ecole des Mines Paris-PSL, at Paris Observatory-PSL, at the EHESS, and at Collège de France.

Axioms of Quantum Mechanics in the light of Continuous Model Theory
Boris Zilber
(University of Oxford)
Abstract
I am going to start by reviewing axioms of quantum mechanics, which in fact give a description of a Hilbert space. I will argue that the language that Dirac and his followers developed is that of continuous logic and the form of axiomatisation is that of "algebraic logic" in the sense of A. Tarski's cylindric algebras. In fact, Hilbert spaces can be seen as a continuous model theory version of cylindric algebras.
