How can engineering address human rights issues?

Futurum

Across Peru, thousands of people do not have access to clean water or efficient transport links. He is investigating the connection between poor transport links and social inequality, and bringing sanitation to a remote community in the Andes. HOW DOES PUBLIC TRANSPORT AFFECT INEQUALITY?

Controlling and engineering systems for the benefit of all

Futurum

Achieving this implies that the well-established field of system science can be applied to address many challenges that cannot be solved by conventional engineering system design approaches.”. Key findings and successes. This work was supported by the EPSRC under award number EP/R032793/1. ABOUT AUTOMATIC CONTROL AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING.

The fastest electric motor ever is another step towards a sustainable future

Futurum

Permanent magnet motors use rare-earth metals such as neodymium and dysprosium in their magnets to achieve high energy density and temperature resistance. Rukmi’s motor uses less rare-earth metal to achieve better performance, lessening the demand for these materials. These materials are rare, difficult to mine, and expensive to use.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

How do we achieve this? Fast numbers-based ways to do particular computations are often viewed as representing “ exact solutions ” to corresponding mathematical problems. But in mathematics and mathematical science it’s very common to think not about discrete integers, but about the continuum of real numbers.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And in Mathematica and the Wolfram Language that’s achieved with Integrate. They’re mathematically more complex, but each one we successfully cover makes a new collection of problems accessible to exact solution and reliable numerical and symbolic computation. or “What’s the integral of along the line ?” But now in Version 13.3

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

And—it should be said at the outset—we’re still only at the very beginning of nailing down those technical details and setting up the difficult mathematics and formalism they involve.) For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. For hypergraphs, it’s isomorphism. Experiencing the Ruliad.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.
