It is an incredibly useful field with a wide range of applications from biological and social sciences to computer animation and finance. Applied mathematics is essential to solving real world problems in many areas, and Anotida’s work goes far beyond his own research in theoretical and computational biology.

Their research sheds light on the significant role that social inequalities play in determining the outcomes of a pandemic. Some of the hardest hit regions were the world’s remotest places, as they did not have access to medical care. Taylor and Lisa use death records as their main source of quantitative data for their research.

And so it was that in 1985 I began to promote the idea of a new field of “complex systems research”, or, for short “complexity”—fueled by the discoveries I’d made about things like cellular automata. And while they used computers as practical tools, they never made the jump to seeing computation as a core paradigm for thinking about science.

Should we think of it essentially as a practical tool for accessing existing methods, or does it provide something fundamentally new for science? My goal here is to explore and assess what AI can and can’t be expected to do in science. We know the ones that correspond to “known science”. So how does AI stack up?

Meet David I majored in anthropology and biology at university. I took courses with a biological anthropologist who inspired me to study how humans use biology and culture to adapt (or not) to stressful environments such as food scarcity, extreme temperatures, and common diseases.

Project MAC After he left III in 1968, Ed’s next stop would be MIT, and specifically Project MAC (the “Multiple Access Computer” Project). The article said that the “MAC” stood either for “Multiple Access Computer” or “Machine-Aided Cognition”. But actually Ed had already been involved much earlier with Project MAC. I never knew it.

He starts off by saying about Carnot’s book: The idea which serves as a basis of his researches seems to me to be both fertile and beyond question; his demonstrations are founded on the absurdity of the possibility of creating motive power or heat out of nothing.
