PROFESSOR RAJA GUHATHAKURTA Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics University of California Santa Cruz, USA. . Amanda talks about her astronomy work to a class of school students over Skype. The highlight of my career actually has nothing to do with astronomy! I think there are parallels between art and astronomy.

But it’s also got some “surprise” new dramatic efficiency improvements, and it’s got some first hints of major new areas that we have under development—particularly related to astronomy and celestial mechanics. Relativity also isn’t important in geography, but it is in astronomy. Introducing Astro Computation. Dates are complicated.

The Wolfram Language is important to LLMs—in providing a way to access computation and computational knowledge from within the LLM. We’ve always built—and deployed—Wolfram Language so it can be accessible to as many people as possible. But the advent of LLMs—and our new Chat Notebooks —opens up Wolfram Language to vastly more people.

And for AIs we’re providing a variety of tools —like immediate computable access to documentation , and computable error handling. But it’s also possible for anyone to post their prompts in the Wolfram Cloud and make them publicly (or privately) accessible. The prompts can define personas (“ talk like a [stereotypical] pirate ”).

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. Turning from calculus to algebra, we’ve added the function PolynomialSumOfSquaresList that provides a kind of “certificate of positivity” for a multivariate polynomial. But if you’re doing astronomy they can really matter.

we’re connecting to “Descartes-style” analytic geometry, converting geometric descriptions to algebraic formulas. Given three symbolically specified points, GeometricTest can give the algebraic condition for them to be collinear: &#10005. Things get even more complicated if we want to get precise times in astronomy.
