This type of fire is deliberately applied to a pre-determined area at the time, intensity and rate of spread required to achieve the desired management objectives, and occurs under a strict set of environmental conditions Fire suppression techniques — the various strategies for stopping a fire once it has started.

But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. Computation theory.

We are using a statistics and computing software. A collaborative approach helps with the sharing of skills and data among many researchers and allows for outcomes that are not possible to achieve by people working individually at separate sites. My proudest career achievement is publishing my first scientific paper back in 2012.

Biology Cells – A heathy adult produces billions of new blood cells every day, but problems with this process can lead to blood cancer, so Dr Kristina Ames is investigating why blood production problems occur. Linguistics – Professor Lisa Green is studying variations in dialects of African American English.

I soon realised I was more interested in biology because you can see the systems you are working with, so I switched degrees. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences. In high school, I focused on math and science as my main interests were in geometry and biology.

CLIMATE MODEL – a computer programme that simulates how the Earth’s climate system – including the atmosphere and oceans – behaves. As David says, “With improved computer power and scientific understanding, it is an exciting and optimistic time for research.”. You can get computing experience at school or through online courses.

Engineering combines maths and science to solve real-world problems, so studying maths, physics, chemistry and computing at school will all be useful when applying for an engineering degree at university. Study social science subjects at school to learn about the human side of engineering challenges.

But at a personal and social level it was still always a lot of fun being around Ed and being exposed to his unique intense opportunistic energy—with its repeating themes but ever-changing directions. And there was one way in which Ed and I were very much aligned: both of our lives were deeply influenced by computers and computing.

And all I’ll be able to do here is give a snapshot of my current thinking—which will inevitably be incomplete—not least because, as I’ll discuss, trying to predict how history in an area like this will unfold is something that runs straight into an issue of basic science: the phenomenon of computational irreducibility.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1. How Did We Get Here?
