How is mathematics applied to real world problems?

Futurum

Mathematical modelling — the ability to translate observations (experimental or otherwise) using mathematical theories and laws of physics to represent important features from a real-world problem. This variable is independent of space and time, and, in many cases, denotes the physical units associated with the dynamical system.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

A key idea—ultimately supported at a foundational level by our Physics Project —is that we can think of everything that happens as a computational process. In 2019 I was doing another systematic enumeration, now of possible hypergraph rewriting rules that might correspond to the lowest-level structure of our physical universe.
