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. I liked all kinds of science when I was at school – biology, chemistry, physics. 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.

So, for example, here’s a graphical representation of a simple arithmetic evaluation, with TraceOriginal → True : And here’s the corresponding “pruned” version, with TraceOriginal → Automatic : (And, yes, the structures of these graphs are closely related to things like the causal graphs we construct in our Physics Project.)

Even back in Version 1.0 , when the documentation was a physical book, there were “See Also’s” between functions: And by now there’s a complicated network of such See Also’s: But that’s just the network of how functions point to functions. But what if we ask a question where the answer is some algebraic expression? And in Version 13.3

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. And a third of a century later—in Version 13.0—we’re

But sometimes it’s much more convenient to get the subgraph (and in fact in the formalism of our Physics Project that subgraph—that we view as a “ geodesic ball ”—is a rather central construct). And in fact our whole Physics Project was basically made possible by the rich graph functionality in the Wolfram Language. So in Version 12.3
