How can smart contact lenses monitor and treat eye conditions?

Futurum

Biomedical engineering is a field that spans many disciplines, combining engineering, biology, medicine and healthcare. Underrepresented students from local high schools can participate in paid opportunities to develop their interests in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). ABOUT BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

Twenty Years Later: The Surprising Greater Implications of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

My original goal in A New Kind of Science was to take a step beyond the mathematical paradigm that had defined the state of the art in science for three centuries—and to introduce a new paradigm based on computation and on the exploration of the computational universe of possible programs. But there’s more.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? You need to be able to easily define mathematically complicated boundary conditions. are Comap and ComapApply. In Version 3.0

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

It explains that III has four divisions: Mathematical and Programming Services, Behavioral Science, Operations, and “New York”. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. So what happened is Marvin [Minsky] and I basically fleshed out the idea of a mathematical thing.
